I'd really like not to lose anyone this year. Not because they're not replaceable, but just to keep the experience we do have. The cohesion etc.
There's a decent chance Sonny and/or Fyfe contribute even less next year which is more experience gone. Aish has already started phasing out, that's 150 games, JoM could easily decline from B22, there's another 180 gone.
So keeping players like Switta, who's played 80 (all for us) is important.
This is highlights just from 2023.
I'm hopeful it's NoD.Small/Medium forwards and a hard-running wing. I'm hopeful Walls has his eye on someone for that wing spot.

I've set the stats on that link to hopefully work immediately for you
I dont have the same concerns on depth as you do. I think our bottom 6 is comparable to anyone that's not GWS and we need 1 or two more actual stars. I also think getting stars improves your depth and that regardless, improving players 20 to 30 on the list is extremely easy to do and can be done with picks 20+ without a fuss.It also means Banfield keeps his spot in the side. (Assuming we just swap Switta for Bolton)
Agree Richards, or someone else along those lines would be good. I like Winder.
I think we need to find away to improve our bottom 4 or 5 players in our 23, plus improve the next 5 players.
JOM, Banfield, Worner, Wagner, Fyfe, Walters, Switta, Frederick - 6 played on the weekend.
Not saying all should be dropped, but it would be nice to have some pressure on them to keep their spots.
Currently we have only have Simpson putting any pressure on our small to medium forwards, and he is more of a mid than a forward.

This is also the perfect draft to do that while bringing in a Bolton.
I have faith Simpson can run past him with another offseason and strangely enough, think your best 25 is fine if Banners is the 25th best player on your list. I also wouldnt be trading Switta for reasons already said. Walters and Aish arent best 25 anymore so it doesnt matter.I agree with the bit in bold, it is a great draft.
Do you want to be watching Banfield play 22 games next year?
If we swap Switta with Bolton, then Banfield will be in the 22 again. If you consider Walters, Fyfe, JOM, Aish all getting older and we have had minimal injuries all year he will be locked into the 22.
If Isiah Winder was playing as well for Peel, as he is for his current WAFL side we would be all asking for him to come in.
Why shouldn't we be looking at him. Pretty sure he is available as a DFA.

We can get Bolton and still draft 3-4 to players very easily and as much as you want draftees, there is minimal chance JL picks them ahead of Banners next year anyway so you'll be waiting till 2026 at least for that

He should be looked at, just like last year every club should look at Hamish Brayshaw. But sometimes the attributes that make you a good player in the lower league aren't enough to compete at the AFL level.
This is just my opinion. I just don't rate him as highly as other people. It is probably the easy misses than burn into the back of mind, plus the cheap goals he gets. Vs us he got 2 of the 4 goals by getting out the back, and having a team mate do the hard work for him.
I also have not seen Bolton really hurt sides when he has the ball in hand. I just don't think his skills are that good.
Add to the fact you only expect 30 goals from him a year, and he is just not worth the capital we would need to give up to get him.
Also, he relies on his pace massively. I see him dropping off once he hits 30 pretty quickly.
Once again, this is just my opinion on the games I have seen. I have not seen Richmond play that much.

Yeah, I think its fine to have a team first attitude, but at some point someone needs to have the nads to just take the shot when the team stuff isn't on.that highlight package shows why we need Bolton. A small forward who backs himself and goes goal first. We **** around with it in the 50 too much trying to do the team thing.
If Isiah Winder was playing as well for Peel, as he is for his current WAFL side we would be all asking for him to come in.
Why shouldn't we be looking at him. Pretty sure he is available as a DFA.
Inject that right into my veins...He's so ****ing good and is goal hungry which is what all of our current small forwards lack.
Baker would be the reason JOM is phased out IMO.Fyfe and Walters will more than likely play under 15 games between them.
Hopefully JOM has another good year, but I can see him getting phased out like Aish has this year in 2026.
Getting someone like Baker for this reason, would help.
DFA can be done but I'd expect a Jeremy Sharp type situation would be more likely.If Isiah Winder was playing as well for Peel, as he is for his current WAFL side we would be all asking for him to come in.

Clearly he is from the Richmond brains trust.You do know this is Bigfooy not the Fremantle recruitment staff?
A part of that is surely a coaching thing.Yeah, I think its fine to have a team first attitude, but at some point someone needs to have the nads to just take the shot when the team stuff isn't on.
