With TDK and Ladhams both youngish ruckman/forwards, i would see them as pretty much equal partners, splitting their time between the ruck, forward or resting on interchange.

I wouldn’t be against it but I hate the thought of Ladhams and McKay in the same forward line. If Curnow gets back it’s going to be a very tough juggling act with our tall forwards and Rucks
Yes, it would be an interesting mix in how we set it up.
Would we push H to CHF allowing him to push up to the wings as a dominant marking target coming out of defence.
This allows Charlie to play closer to goal giving defenders very sleepless nights.
TDK/Ladhams in the pocket as a 3rd marking option would prove incredibly hard for the opposition to match up on.

No way for mine moods.
. We’ve seen what he can do and he’s done the rehab. Back him in slowly but surely. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app
Waste of money, showed a little promise at the Giants, just doesn’t produce it anywhere near enough for the talent he has...
Can play, would be a good cheap Ruck/Forward list replacement for Casboult depending on who else was available...

It'd take the heat off Gov for worst contract. So not all bad.
Fisher will be a better player than Cerra, jmo but you can take that to the bank...
Can’t believe it’s not Hayes...

Need to play him in the midfield for that to happen.Fisher will be a better player than Cerra, jmo but you can take that to the bank...
100% at least around the 50/50 balance, and since the broken leg COVID and more large chunks of missed games through injury hasn’t had a clear run at it...
Rate him very very highly, has it in spades just needs an uninterrupted run at it...
Look out...

I just don't know how we can fit Cripps, Walsh, Kennedy and Dow into the midfield, on top of one or several rotating forwards (Fisher, Cunners, Martin, SPS).

Kemp. Tracking well and held off . I’m buoyant
Reports HFC (amongst others) are chasing and had interest in him last off-season too.
Turned it on on the reserves a couple of years ago vs us & the talent was visible for some, Harker.
Another ruck with mobility would be ideal. Pitto, despite being the good clubman, traded or delisted with Mirkov in reserve. Another ruck probably necessary.
Outs from (14); Murphy, LOB, Betts, Fisher, Parks, Pittonet, Newnes, Ramsay, Boyd, McDonald, Gibbons, Casboult, Setterfield, Cottrell

This interview of Luke Power by Terry is really great. One thing to note is that the reason that Stocker and Owies have done well since they got into the seniors is they were only promoted when they were ready. I’m sure the same will be true for Honey, Kemp, Carroll etc. and then when Honey does really well in his first few weeks everyone will say “see we told you to play him sooner” - but really the reason he will do well is because the coaches like Power really worked on his development and did whatever they could to set him up for success.
So when we think about our list management on here going forward we do need to now take into account the fact that Luke Power is probably doing a much better job than others in his post previously did for our players. So I don’t think we can write off many of our players for at least another year. Eg in this interview he mentions LOB getting close to being ready and he also mentions what SPS has learnt defensively. He didn’t mention Kennedy or Dow but both of them have clearly done better under his tutelage too.
I think for the first time in a long time when we cut a player we can truly say it’s on the player and not on the club because we are finally giving each player every chance to succeed.

Thanks for posting this. That really was a great insight into how we go about development and I feel a lot more confident we're doing what we can to bring the best out of our players. Cheers and Go Blues.
We need to be more inventive and adventurous, definitely a balancing act, it will mostly come down to horses for courses with how well the main mids are going at the time and also particular opposition matchups... If we want to contend then we need to be able too bat as deep as we can...
All of those main 4 will spend time on the pine, Walsh can do stints on a wing (actually prefer him there 50% of the time), Kennedy resting as a deep forward leading target, Cripps similarish, Dow only a mid at this stage.
Then stints from Martin, Cuners, Williams (he will play there ), SPS and others.
I like the variety

Walsh I noticed only went to 7 centre bounces last weekend. I wasn’t at the ground so it’s hard to tell if he played a different role but he did seem to be at pretty much all stoppages afterwards. ATM he plays a little like Macrae and that could work well in terms of balance in the future. In saying that Macrae was taking the most Centre bounces at the dogs over the majority of the season, I haven’t looked again lately though.
Dow just needs to spend a lot of time on the bench imo. ATM he is an impact player and no point having him running around in general play not getting involved. I think even last week he only had 6 touches in the second half, most likely because he run out of legs.
Levi and Jones out, no one to replace them.
Spine players this trade/draft period, pretty simple

Chance if any WA trades & hasn’t set the world on fire (injuries as well), so just an option which may be needed. Not overly fussed but there’s some talent there.
Needs a haircut.
Need to be brave and look to offload a few blokes who can't kick and can't chase. Start with Setterfield, Curnow and Dow.
Dow’s kicking had improved of late. Ed works hard and at least gets kicks.
Really worried about Setterfield, fallen off a cliff. Not showing many redeeming features to his game.
