Little exercise for some “needs” perspective. Mindful that in a couple of years we will have multiple years of compromised drafts once again and ridiculously competitive markets (high prices) for upper end trades and free agents.
Team from current listed players under 26 on Jan 1, 2025.
For effect the untried, at senior level, are either bracketed, or listed on the interchange. Left Jack Carroll out pending probable trade.
Back: Cowan, ? , ? .
HB: Ollie Hollands, Kemp, (Wilson)
C: Binns, Cerra, Cottrell
Foll De Koning, Walsh, Lord
HF: Elijah Hollands, (Lemmey), C.Durdin
F: Fogarty, Moir, Motlop
“Bench”
O’Keeffe, M.Carroll, Monahan, (Duffy to be added)
Likely B. Camporeale and L.Camporeale will be added.
Our needs surely are on display.
Last height listed for M.Carroll was 190cm. Expecting a priority assessment of his rehab from injury before a possible delisting. Is a type who would be ideal. Surely Sam Durdin’s future is linked to Lewis Young, with only one retained for next season.
With the Campos coming in and at least Ben being a coalface option and having Cody Walker added in two drafts time, clearly defence, particularly key as well as pace and or x-factor forward and indeed across the ground are surely what we are looking at. The Campos will add a little more zip, but are not express.
Ison?
