We need to trade for or draft/develop an extra player who:lol we literally break down at half forward more than anywhere else on the field and cant keep the ball in the forward 50, and some are saying we don't need anyone who can improve that.
- provides good repeat leads all day based on great endurance and smarts
- averages 5 marks a game and consistently stick a mark on the lead
- provides serviceable entry by foot or the smarts to find a running player by hand
- can win more 50/50s than lose them
- can kick the odd goal (average 1 a game).
- provides a genuine threat so that Larkey isn’t double and triple teamed.
That is what we are missing. This player doesn’t need to be a world beater to fix our woeful HF black hole. Zurhaar doesn’t fill this as he generally plays closer to goal. We need Larkey closer to goal because we have no one else to take the final kick.
If I was list manager, drafting Cadman and someone like Keeler/Munkara/Jefferson to go with Comben to learn from a FA acquisition like Gunston would be perfect.
