We are a rabble, the coach needs to go, and we need to strengthen our draft hand, but getting upset because a VFL defender stuck behind someone who doesn't even want to be at the club, doesn't want to come here?

Spare me.
You rebuild in 3 ways, not just the draft.

Garcia got a nice big talk up on Fox MWT. Too good for VFL ect.

Let’s hope….. somegthing… anything (best 22)
Who's this Garcia kid? Anybody have any info on him?

If we cant even convince a VFL player to come here, you think we have any chance of convincing the Chad Warner/Isaac Cumming or basically anyone of the standard we need?

If you wanna focus on every problem and mistake as a isolated incident, then thats when you end up with a bad culture like we have now

We are below targeting VFL players now it appears. Now we gotta sign discards like Dev Robertson and Jack Carroll it seems. Players the other team want to move on...
 
Can see a player like Urquhart sliding to our 4th round, his kicking technique will scare recruiters a bit. Looks a good prospect (better than hall imo)with a big ticker would prefer him than dev

Not concerned about buss, would of cost us the same amount of capital as landing possibly mraz or o'farrel.

FOS is a jet and if avaliable at our pick we would have to take. Like harley the quality of football he plays is a point of difference. If we can't get FOS I'm splitting the pic for either Baker and Travaglia or 2 picks inside top 15

At this stage I don't think it warrants us bringing in our f1 unless we get something juicy from GC
 
Footy is won in the guts.

We need to absolutely build the hell out of our midfield to the point it takes huge pressure of the backline... then your average defenders look ok.

Look at half the top sides, you can't tell me if those defenders played for us they'd be world bearers overnight.

It's all about supply and quality

Win you flags when the premiership window opens.

In a rebuild not as important. Team defence and an elite midfield guarantee forward half supply and a small forwards pressure game.

We’ve got 15 to 20 players who don’t get a game every week, we’ve got probably 10 players who will be off the list at the end of the year,” he said.

“I will talk to the player today, we’ll try to unite and be better on the weekend.”

I’m getting Logan Morris type vibes from him. Undersized but mobile enough to impact earlier than people may think. Am looking forward to reviewing the AReid/Morris decision in a few years.
Surely, provided he has a full and injury free preseason, A reid plays a bit next year. Start in the wafl sure but needs to be able to plug a hole when injury to others occurs.

Gov is gone when our premiership window is open. Whose his replacement?
 
I wonder why people are not motivated....

Has to go immediately if thats his attitude.

We actually only have 10 uncontracted players entirely
Witherden
Gaff
Burgiel
Edwards
Culley
Jones
Rotham
Rawlinson
Edwards
Trew


Based on that every uncontracted player is leaving?

I really like what I’ve seen of him this year, glad we took him instead of the safer Morris sugar hit. My concern is that his development is stunted in the Beagles. Skills are very neat for his size and has a big tank. Needs a big summer in the gym and to work on his aggression and there’s no reason he can’t fight for a position and get out of the Beagles.

Wouldn’t mind keeping an eye on his brother for the end of next year too.

Players get delisted every year, Simpson has just articulated it during the season which can come off as a bit jarring.

That said the fact that there will be list changes at the end of the year should not come as a shock to any club's playing list, especially one like ours that is going through a significant list transition.
 
Pretty disappointing, onto the next one. Need a young KPD and distributor, hoped Buss could fill a bit of both. Don't mind the idea of taking a punt on a Z Reid or DGB (doesn't want to leave Melb apparently though)
if it was for nothing. Is Darcy Peterson draftable? O'Farrell definitely in the frame now assuming we keep our second.

The 'system' is set up to make this happen.

Wouldn't take 10 too literally, although most of those probably are on the chop. Could also be trades or surprise retirements like Redden a couple of years ago.
 
Yikes. First, the fact he doesn't deny it. Second, who's going?

Gaff, Trew, Rotham for sure. Pet, Darling, Billiams, Jones, Burgiel, Baker, Culley?
 
Lets not cope.

We are ****ed not amount of coping can cover up how ****ed me are. This is due to poor planning.

The fact we have no suitable cover for gov and Barrass (soon to be 29) is so bad.

We will be inn a worse state then norf. They have no defence. We have no defence. They have LDU.
Err, we still have Edwards, who has done quite well when playing AFL this year.

We have Reid, who could probably play back like his brother.

Not sure if you've watched North but Comden has come on as a seriously good KPD and Logue is about to return.
