We surely can't be purely relying on 191-193cm interceptors to play on resting ruckman, and the Daniher types.
I know we want to cut our losses with Young as a long term option, but he's still got to be a better depth option than Sam Durdin.
I think we want to lose Young's salary more than anything, and then open up a list spot as a secondary benefit.
If we have a state league player in mind, we probably want to take them in the draft, rather than chance them getting through to us as a rookie, thus Young going over Durdin.
At least I hope that's our thinking.
Next year we will have
Weitering - as good as any
Young and/or Durdin - back up
Haynes, McGovern, Cowan, Kemp (hope he stays fwd) as more third talls
Lemmey (201cm) & Silvagni are options
Good chance we will add another
Look at the finals sides from this year. Mostly mobile with one key pillar in defence. Look at the job Lester did on Cameron in Prelim. The game is more about mobility than ever before
