IMHO our real need now and for the next several years is classy mids. Our top line is good, but not enough depth. Our talls are good and we have depth, but several need to step up a bit. To me it seems pretty obvious that if we trust our development people then another top grade mid is the biggest need. Especially if they have run and carry.
Then we need young depth in KPs and ruck (but rucks can be found in trades and state leagues)
So, I like what is coming out of the club. Although the comment about Wright at the end of the article posted was interesting - if he is there we are interested.
It seems to met that there is a common theme starting to emerge with ruckman for most teams. We've seen Grundy drop and now there is a very good chance Wright will slide. Most teams seem to draft them relatively late, and will likely trade for one. I think most teams are of the understanding now that a tall takes 3-4 to really their straps. Ruckman possibly even more.
I know it was the ethos at Sydney under Roos (and seems that Horse inherited it) to take mids and trade for bigs. I think that we've taken a similar approach. Obviously we still select talls in the draft, just with our later picks.
Bit of a nothing article tbh....
Hahaha, 99% of the articles about the draft are to be honest.
