So were Hollands and Cowan.
So were Daicos, Reid, Sheezel etc.

These are unproven 17 year old kids
A defensive winger maybe, but yes I would agree that wing is midfield and I am splitting hairsHe rotated between centre bounce and wing.
Which I think is fair to say is midfield

I said this earlier in the year that we need a mini rebuild. The rule changes have caught us off guard. Out with the slow and injury plagued and in with some speed and class.I got a little depressed reading this … cincotta campo doc lord and a bunch of flaky half forwards as our second string midfielders …. Hopefully cerra walsh acres hollands play well or we are cooked
As others have mentioned losing Carrol and Kennedy leaves the midfield cupboard pretty bare.So 6 off the Senior List, with the addition of Haynes and then Boyd to be elevated means 4 vacancies.
Add Lord to the rookie list, subtract Boyd and the 3 cut means 3 Rookie vacancies.
Binns for starters. We have 4 wingmen on our list at present. Hollands, Acres, Cottrell, Binns. The same amount of Starting Mids. CrazyThe players you are complaining about aren't the ones who didn't get played though. Who didn't get played that you are lamenting the loss of?
How many Daicos,Reid and Sheezel are out there in previous drafts? It's putting a fair bit of pressure on pick three.So were Hollands and Cowan.

A fit Walsh & Cerra makes a massive difference. Hewett as well. That is a top group
Elijah will improve and then there is Docherty and I expect a bit from Lord
Pick 3 could easily step up and expectations internally are high for Ben Camporeale. Wilson another. Cincotta is underrated
I expect Fogarty Williams Motlop Durdin to have midfield minutes as well. I’d love to see Kemp in there
As is usual fitness in the key

Could easily have got rid of Cotrell and Fantasia if we really needed list spots. Instead we get rid of our best clubman who played every game in practically every position asked. And Carrol who is only 22 years old.As others have mentioned losing Carrol and Kennedy leaves the midfield cupboard pretty bare.
Both played lots this year, who we add via the draft will be interesting, I think we have lost a bit of depth with Kennedy, Owies and Carrol leaving
Cerra has done hammy 5 times in the last 12 months? These are the facts. We'd be lucky to get 15 games out of him next season. Walsh has a bad back and may never truly recover to get to his best again.A fit Walsh & Cerra makes a massive difference. Hewett as well. That is a top group

If we're after more DFA one year contract types, there's the option to promote Cincotta too and create an extra rookie spotSo 6 off the Senior List, with the addition of Haynes and then Boyd to be elevated means 4 vacancies.

Ollie will go to HB and Cottrelll isn’t a wingmanBinns for starters. We have 4 wingmen on our list at present. Hollands, Acres, Cottrell, Binns. The same amount of Starting Mids. Crazy
I haven't.Here comes the 30th anniversary of our last premiership. 26 years since our last grand final appearance. Some fans either weren't around or have forgotten how ruthless we used to be in chasing flags.

Wilson has never played midfield at VFL level.I got a little depressed reading this … cincotta campo doc lord and a bunch of flaky half forwards as our second string midfielders …. Hopefully cerra walsh acres hollands play well or we are cooked
How many half backs do we need? Hollands, Cowan, Wilson, Newman, Saad, McGovern, BoydOllie will go to HB and Cottrelll isn’t a wingman
Club has finally put faith in the next generation which I applaud
My concern is Cripps played every game and got 45 brownlow votes and we fell into 8th place. Lots of pressure on Cripps next season with limited support.
Contract v not having a contractCould easily have got rid of Cotrell and Fantasia if we really needed list spots. Instead we get rid of our best clubman who played every game in practically every position asked. And Carrol who is only 22 years old.

For me the underlying issue was injuries and injury management. Our list changes indicates panic from the MC and recruiting team. Yes, some players like Marchbank, Cuningham, Martin, Durdin needed to go. But getting rid of Kennedy, and Carroll whilst bringing in a 33 year old player who is cooked is bewildering.By the same token - why hold on to a supporting cast that's repeatedly come up short?
Doesn't this fall on list management though? Why the heck would they sign Cotrell for 3 years!!!Contract v not having a contract

I think the club is finally addressing the slow ball movement issue this off season.I said this earlier in the year that we need a mini rebuild. The rule changes have caught us off guard. Out with the slow and injury plagued and in with some speed and class.
