Could be a good move looking at JGov, as a missing piece (Like Lake to Hawthorn)
Would mean MGov or Kemp would need to be push forward…

If we brought in a second KPD I’d prefer kemp is moved up front and leave mgov doing what he does now.
H Charlie and kemp are all good marks and kicks. Kemp loves to leap so would provide some good entertainment for the spectators as well.

Tall enough to have to tie themselves to the tree in two places!
Given the trend away from one-on-one footy to zone defence, it might be good to have some expertise in guarding grass
I am slowly coming around to the idea.
Him travelling 5-6 times a years instead of 11 would be certainly help him.
Our catering bill might go up a bit, the old man likes getting stuck in to cans and hospitality at games and if we aren't sharing him with West Coast the bill might sky rocket but I am sure we can afford it.
Well if he' s ever going to be lured away from the West, we are definitely in the box seat.
From what I hear, J McGovern doesn't just come over as a very good player. He has leadership skills and very good footy IQ. I'd be offering him the opportunity to play with us and go straight into coaching here when he is done. Guys at his age, job security is really important. Include a future contract as backline coach 2027-2030. Happy to have him as backline coach for as long as he likes.
What could have been with the McKay’s & DeKoning’s….
There is a difference between not wanting to be out there, and knowing that, reluctantly, the end is nigh.
You pick your best side, no matter what is happening end of year

He'll be 33 at the start of next season and has had a lot of injuries. At best you might get 1 - 2 good seasons out of him. Personally I would have thought that a 2nd would be too much to pay personally., particularly when we may need all of our picks for the Campos.
I wonder whether Jack Carroll might come into the equation if we wanted to go down that path.
Give it 6 years or so, there will be 2 Walkers. Cody has a younger brother.
Or being told the end is nigh.
Too early to be definitive, but “kicking goals” at the younger levels so to speak is young Arli. If I was a betting man, and I have been known to have a dabble, I would be backing him in to be in the discussion. There are a couple of sisters too, I have no idea if they have any interest in the game.

Laughable people think Austin is a good list manager. 5 years in where is the evidence?
l think there will be more list changes than what many are advocating for the upcoming draft period, need to keep bringing in quality young talent, l believe we need to be aggressive & find some more early picks this year.
We are in a group of many teams with little between 2nd-10th, if we do little we will go backwards.
The best 3 year stretch we have had this millenium?
Took over in 2020 and subsequently brought in Saad (All Australian), Fogarty (whatever he is, he seems to be best 22) plus Carroll and Durdin
2021 added Hewett and Cerra, plus Motlop
2022 added Acres, Hollands, Cowan (all best 22) plus Binns and Lemmey (jury out) then Cincotta and O'Keefe (pretty good rookies)
2023 = E Hollands plus draftees yet to play
Seems to have done a decent job of rounding out the list around the core group. Inherited a big bunch of then underperforming high draft picks and seems to have kept the best of them (Kennedy, De Koning) and moved on the others (SPS, Fisher, Dow, Stocker) without really making a mistake. Probably the only criticism givem where he started was carrying too many perennially injured guys ino

My only issue with Austin is the continual investment into slow players over the last couple of years. Elijah is a fantastic pick up but one paced, Ollie is in a bad form slump this year but same thing for pace. Motlop is a natural small forward but lacks speed off the mark, Moir slow off the mark too.
I've really liked some of his pick ups, I just think we've gone a bit too far for balance in terms of speed around the ground. Something we really should be able to address in an off season if we play our cards right... Just need to have identified it as an issue like he did with the wings in 2022.
Might still win the flag this year anyway as our best is great, but the speed is definitely an issue for us.
