Jack Lukosias is apparently on the outs at the suns, i know hes an SA boy and on decent coin with two years left.. is he worth lookin at, would he fit in at CHB and let Weiters play a bit deeper.

Agree with most of this but Charlie is just as good if not better than Cripps and Weiters at his best. As is Walsh. Both have looked injured for large parts of this year but they're still absolute top liners when they're fit and healthyNo doubt we all love A graders and want to fill the holes in our list with big name players. However the only likely scenario is we draft some gemsā¦
IMO to be a Richmond, Geelong, Sydney, Hawthorn of the past we need to fill our gaps with reliable B graders that get the job done, we lack badly in this areaā¦
Iād rate our list as follows (when fit)
(* = Players that can go to next level)
A+
Cripps & Weitering
A
Curnow, McKay & Walsh
B
TDK*, Newman, Acres, Saad & Docherty
B-
Cerra, Kennedy, Hewett, Williams, E.Hollands* & Martin
IMO we need to fill our list holes with some B or potential B gradersā¦
KPD
Midfielders
Small Forwards
The coming off season is about:
Cleaning out the liabilities.
Returning all of our required and contracted to full health.
Embrace the draft to fill our list needs to fill gaps and add layers.
Finding practical mature options to carry us through our kids development windows.
Contrary to many opinions around here, our list is in good shape. We have the cattle to contend, despite our shortcomings. A small amount of tweaking of the list and embracing and enhancing our skills and structures will have us contending for the next five years minimum.
Development is heavily hindered by availability. The kids at the start of this year were getting absolutely flogged in the VFL and wouldn't have gotten bugger all from that experience. But I agree that our overall skill level is poor across the list, have about 5-6 genuinely good kicks and that's about it.Agree about the off season
As for our list. Nothing has changed for me. We lack depth. The other thing I am seing more and more is lack of run and good skills and decision making. We are a very poor ball using side
Is that coaching or development or talent? I don't know, but IMO it's a big issue
Don't trade Saad. He is the one and only speed runner that we have.TRADE TABLE
- Zac Williams (salary dump)
- Adam Cerra
- Marc Pittonet
- Adam Saad
- Jordan Boyd
- Matt Cottrell
- Matt Kennedy
- George Hewett
- Lachlan Fogarty
- Corey Durdin
- Lewis Young
I want Mirkov to play against West Coast.
Played his best Ressies game on Saturday, Pitto is struggling. We are about to make some monumental list management decisions, time to get a realistic assessment as to where Mirkov sits.
If Mirk proves up to it, we may be in a position to field offers for Pitto. We have OāKeeffe likely ready after another pre season, with Young and potentially Lemmey as pinch hitters.
Providing he re-signs, TDK is our number one for the foreseeable future. It is an even draft with decent prospects to fifty or even sixty depending on needs. Draft capital will be critical.
We need to come out of the draft with a quality running mid or half back with quality ball use, we also need a bankable, quick small forward, and we absolutely need one or even two developing key position players.
Mirkov can be a cheap cog for the future, he can be a list clogger or he can be delisted. Letās get a fair dinkum assessment. West Coast has an average ruck group, Mirk whould have the chance to shine. He has been building in the back half of the VFL season, enough that he could be a viable prospect.
We need a lot more like him. Not afraid to take the game on. Has the speed to do it.Don't trade Saad. He is the one and only speed runner that we have.
We need more small and fast players like him.
Binns, Lord and Moir have contracts, assessments arenāt āneededā at this stage. I do have Binns as possible trade bait (if Voss wonāt play him, no reason to be here) Some clarity may be advantageous. Lord is up to it, so if we feel we need him, no problem. My inclination is that it is too early for Moir, who has just started to get going. I do believe, Moir is the type to step up and shine in better company, when he is ready.Based on this then you also have to name Binns, Lord and Moir this weekend, and if H is injured the Lemmey debuts in front of his family too??
We're playing in PerthLemmey debuts in front of his family too??
West Adelaide, West Australia, it's all west......We're playing in Perth
Saadās the least of our problems. Look further up field; thatās where it lies.We spent YEARS on this forum bemoaning the fact we had no choice but to play Plowman on the small, fast types like Greene and C. Cameron, and then we have one of the best small defenders in the league with the ability to break lines with the best and we're calling to trade him? I understand the salary concerns but Saad is one of the only guys who shows up each week and you know what you're getting, one of the only guys who never loses his feet or fumbles when the heat is on. He is so important to us playing our best footy, we CANNOT trade him.
Do we think it's possible that some players request trades away this offseason due to injury management?
I honestly wouldn't blame some of them and I'm talking big names.
It's all West Horsham to me..West Adelaide, West Australia, it's all west......
