TAGS (life club position role style health) (FF #46014) 2020 DT PRE-SEASON OUTLOOK (posted 4 Dec 2019) Singing in wrong Keays?
Fresh off an unhappy Brisbane stint mouldering in an unsuited deep forward role where Ben Keays could not convince the coaches to let him play his natural game in central midfield, he was picked up by the Crows who are in great need for a crumbing forward but stacked in the engine room. The reason for the pick is that despite 11 goals in 30 senior appearances, Keays booted 43.19 from 16 NEAFL games last season, as compared to 14.17 from 16 in 2018.The Crows did not expend much in the way of draft treasure to secure him, and will hope that Keays can finally translate that lower level form to the big league. It can be surmised that the main reason that he was not picked for the senior side during their finals run was that the club wanted to isolate Charlie Cameron deep forward and Keays' talents did not fit in that structure. He will probably get elevated to make his case during 2020, at which point someone should pick him up as a free agent. -
