Something out of left field.
Until J Carney puts on an easts jumper in first grade, the jury is still out. Even Williamson looked on youtube. With Skd recently resigning, our options for the next few years in our backline include Mini, BJ, Linnett, J Carney, SKD, Perritt, Graham, Naughton, Khierallah, Ford, Towers?
With Mini close to retirement, and say Duggan stays in Canberra, could Linnett be converted into a fullback?
Don't shoot me down yet.
With a shit-load of players off contract next year, would it be better/cheaper to "manufacture" a fullback instead of paying overs for one, and losing some of our other promising young players (ie Symonds)? Anasta resigning as well will eat up heaps of cash
! Linnett is a similar size to Duggan, takes the line on, has good hands, and is lightning quick.
With SKD resigning for mega-bucks, and J Carney a new addition, not too much cash will be available. BJ is built more like a centre than a winger (and too slow for a winger). Perritt seems to be a Smithy favourite. Towers seems not to be wanted, still cannot work out why!
What are others thoughts on Linnett? Seems to be level headed and reliable. If not Linnett, what else do we have in-house as a replacement for Mini, without going to the market and paying overs for a classy fullback?
We can not re-sign everyone.
Just thinking out loud.
