I'm really surprised we didn't trade into next year and even more surprised we went yet another tall.

We dont have enough runners.
We wanna make sure we finish last.
Can't rely Louie anymore

Remember you build your spine first that takes the longest and add the other components

I seem to recall us recently winning 3 premierships by trading in a ruck and KPF late. Who are these teams drafting reams of project talls and reaping the benefits a decade later?

We could have traded down and picked him quite likely?

Still don't buy the 'we can fill in the holes in our roster later' approach. We're missing so many players and our list is so clogged with talls, inside mids and marking defenders, we're going to struggle to find the list spots much less draft spots to rebalance later. and our top two picks next year will be so high we'll want to pick best available again.

Huh?

Rucks? : tick with Nank, Sims and Ryan.

Key Forwards: huge tick now.

Small/medium forwards: Hotton, Mansell, MRJ, Lalor, Green, Clarke … needs work but has potential

Key Defenders: Balta, Gibcus, Trainor, Miller, Young, Blight….

Small/medium defenders: Brown, Short, Tresize, Banks, Broad, Vlastuin, Smith

Wings: Campbell, Ross, Banks, Hugo

Mids: TT, Hopper, Lalor, Smillie, McAuliffe, Hotton, Ross.

I’m honestly not sure what you’re talking about given we’ve got 2 x top-10 picks next year to solve any glaring needs. So almost certainly an elite midfielder and another goal kicking centre/fwd mid.

Then after 2025/26 we can assess our needs and resolve with trades / free agents. And there’ll be demand for excess talls we have in trades.

IMO our balance is pretty perfect on the back of 1 x year of our rebuild.
