That all sounds just great with one big problem though. He doesnt play any position well any more.
Wing no thanks i was over his fumbles and poor disposal years ago. Others have indeed gone past his very low current bench mark.
The game has changed as well and is demanding we change with it.
Forward fair dinkum id rather we kept Cumberland. Play Bauer there instead or god forbid another kpf in Gray.
How many smalls do we have clamoring for a game as well ? thats not to mention if we draft say a kid like Berry or Hotton.
Defence seriously in front of who? Smith Trezise are two that say hello Bauer a backline option Brown we are not seriously considering playing him in front of any of them are we. Travaglia and Imo Oliver has to be on our radar as well.
What about for needed experience? Well that is just a plain old crop of rubbish. There is plenty of experience spread thru the team for next year.
How does a fumbling panic merchant who turns it over way too often help anyone.
Does his onfield form warrant us keeping him ? Plain honest answer is NO. That is supported by the fact that statistically he is coming off his worst ever season and he has had his share over the years.
Its not 2020 people but will be 2025, five years since the last flag and it is way past the point where we need to stop living in the past.
Thats is the argument for delisting, imo it is a darn strong one.
Oh by the way we don't owe Kamdyn a damn thing. We have provided him with premierships and a long lucrative career when others may not have.
Hate to bring up my own post but i can't be bothered writing it all again.
Theres your argument for delisting.
All anyone has come up with for keeping him is.
He will make a great sub lol. Thats as dumb as ive heard.
We are bereft of experience and need him for that. What a crop of poo that is. Ignoring a fact doesn't make it disappear.
Do i really have to list all of the experienced players we will likely play next year.
He is a great clubman and we need him around. If thats is the case delist him and have him play in the ressies or give him a job around the club.
If being a good clubman is a valid reason he does not need to be on the list to do it.
Oh yeah we have to keep him because he finished in the top 11 in the b&f he can't have been bad.
I cannot speak for the club but the vast majority here have all said he was pretty ordinary.
Maybe the simple fact was he was one of eleven players who played 19 games or more. So of those with any sort of chance of winning it he finished you guessed it 11th of eleven. He was mostly poor to the eye, so many fumbles poor kicks and just plain old running himself into trouble time and again. Statistically he was very poor something that actually supports how poor he was..
Where do we play him
Wing - Really i can only ask why would you.? HRS, Banks have gone past him Seth Campbell should be tried there along with Smith Trezise. and even Brown. Not to mention any top 20 draftee we may take for the role. Apart from Smith and Campbell what age group are these players in. They need exposure at the level.
Play him as a forward again really. We have a pile of smalls that we must find out about. Who doesnt want to find out what Bauer can do at age 22 along with Grey Lynch Kossie and Lefau there is not a role for him.
How about in defense. its the same story he is way behind others.
If keeping him means we don't use all of our nd picks then that is a very poor decision. As others have said we have picks one in both the psd and rookie drafts as well where an upgrade should be a real possibility.
Any way there is the case for not keeping him.
Where is the case for keeping him apart from he is a good bloke. Anyone. Can anyone come up with one good footy reason or list reason why we should keep him.
The real reason people want him around is simple. they are still living in the past can't delist a favorite now can we.
