5 you would think would be the number

 

[nicko74]

However long it takes to win at least 1 flag

I like it how Uncle_Leo suggested five years - in other words, three flags.

IMO if we are able to give him the strong football dept he needs to be successful, he’s ours.

If he doesn’t come, it’s an indictment on the club and an inability to do what’s necessary to set anyone up to be successful.

We’ve taken short cuts for too long.

The only question is does he stay on for the hat trick or does he hand over to the assistant he’s nurtured?

Don’t underestimate what having multiple top 5 mids will do for us down the track either. I get we need KPD & KPF but these mids will always turn over for another first round pick minimum that we can grab a plug and play forward or defender when required

Yep exactly.

If we take Ashcroft or Wardlaw this year then one of the mids will become trade bait down the road.

 

[nelroo]

Or maybe they won’t. Cunnington, Greenwood, Anderson won’t be around forever. I’m still of the belief that Jy is not a centre square mid either. Should be high half forward.

 

[Themanbun]

I'm comfortable with that. What I'm not on board with is this idea of collecting and holding 7-8 high draft pick mids, half of which will rot on a flank.

Exactly. We're still light on and are filling holes. Some are on the list and will reasonably be expected to develop further physically (Powell, Phillips etc) however end of the day our midfield without Cunnington has been destroyed in all but 3-4 games this year.

Welcome back Alistair.

 

[Dingster]

Ashcroft ends up with Brissie father/son? I get your premise though.

Good luck going to Clarko and telling him you're putting performance triggers in his contract.

Realistically, the only link to Clarkson has been the Tom Browne.

Yep and that’s what worries me

Said it once before, but it bears repeating now. /jack_white_voice

Mate, we're all in on Tom.

If clarko wants the job, it's his.

 

[SunnyBoner]

yep but he needs to be 100% locked in and committed. I have memories of Bighty's ill-fated coaching comeback at St Kilda.
