Tarryn Thomas, whom we transform into a big bodied mid
 
Dylan Stephens
Harry Himmelburg
Elijah Hollands
 
Any one of HH (to play in defence), Redman or NWM will do me

Defensive reinforcements probably the priority, for mine. Particularly as there seems to be no gettable game-changing mids

Forward line looks set and 2 highly rated young mids that slipped to the 3rd round added to our stacked midfield basically overloads that area. With Ironman ROB who thrives on heavy workload and continuity supported by Strachan who is pretty well equivalent, it's really the backline that needs looking at. Smalls and mediums we're good for, so it's a KPD that is required. Only question is whether we go with a low cost backup that's ready to go, a no cost delistee or use our first to trade in a gun. Would 6 or so get us a Weitering level player?

Elijah Hollands is the one - make him priority number 1 for 2024 - if young Welsh comes on like we hope, it would be an excellent one to trade out our 1st that year for Hollands - even if it took our 2025 pick as well. He is going to be special

i think we might take out our 2024 1st next year in prep for welsh
 
There is a rumour on the Essendon board that Redman is considering returning to Adelaide (crows) as RFA end of next year. I guess he'd be the Brodie Smith replacement.

Would put a few players on notice, namely McPherson, Hamil and Hinge, probably only 1 other can make the team (Redman and Hinge?).
 
Not happening..


And why?
His ruckwork isnt that great..


If only we had selected Tim English (and held onto him) as recommended instead of going for Jordan Galluci’s speed ….. if so the ruck would be set for 8-10 years.

The again he probably would want to go home by now. Might have got us West Coasts’ first pick this year and thereby Philipou … and we’d still have ROB running around in the SANFL waiting for his chance.

We might have if Don Pyke wasn't the coach at the time according to our then very experienced recruiter Phil Bunn who was our WA scout at the time...
