No, we don't. We'll always need quality interstate players on our list to be successful (particularly in the midfield as you've noted). But to whatever extent we can bring in quaility home grown players, we should be doing so. It's been a noticeable shift in intent in the last few years, and I'm really liking it.It's nice, but does SA produce enough premium midfield stock to win a premiership?

Would have been a complete train wreck disaster without Dawson last year.Won't know for a few years.
Some guy on Facebook reckons Rankine “will only play SANFL” that is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard in a long while
I don't think it is. It feels like we're doing it selectively, in a way that aligns with our roadmap of how we want to play and the team we want to be, while still bolstering the 'local' flavour of the list profile.It's coming at the expense of those quality interstate players though isn't it?
I don't mind it as happenstance, but it's not good strategy.
Luring home grown home is great - when you get them at a discount. That's what we need to strive for. Luring then home at full tote odds isn't a benefit.
I'll be honest, whatever the deal is, and whatever his contract is - I'm happy. He is going to be so much fun to watch. Bring on 2023.
Tex, Fog, Rankine, Rachele, McAdam Thilthorpe etc - we are definitely not going to be boring.
Yes. The hand wringing and teeth gnashing is totally unnecessary.It's basically pick 5 then. The exchanged picks are essentially identical.
We’ve got the icing but not the cake.
Lucky Izak does that tooWas that Nicksy?

something something pressure acts, something something tackles.

Only the crows board could be negative about using 5 on RankineDon't care what anyone says, I'm personally loving that we're filling our team with quality SA kids again. Not to downplay the importance of some of the gun Vic kids who are a massive part of our team also (Rachelle, Soligo etc..), but I love that we're drawing our young home grown talent in more and more. Massively enhances our identity (for me at least).
Can't wait for 2023

Agree our mid isn’t up to scratch yet , hopefully it comes
Like Rachele and Rankine as part of mid mid though
Can we get aggressive and make moves to draft a mid in teens ? Couple likely types , That’s dream from here for me but not sure we will do it
I’d go mid over ruck because I think Thilthorpe can play up to 50% ruck within 3 years at a v high level just need another good ruck / forward . Agree draft a developing one but not one in 20s in this years lotPLUS PLUS PLUS
Pedlar can be horne he is one cm shorter with similar attributes and a better kick
Move forward everyone our biggest need actually is
1. a developing ruck that is fast and good kick - verrall or barnett or someone must be drafted
2. a 200cm agile CHB with good kick - can mcasey have an apparition or could himmelberg be switched back? cos I dont see any options
the tall mid is only third need on this list now this could be achieved by trading 23 and future second for a late-ish first but that will knock out 1.
I wonder if Gallant could go to CHB?PLUS PLUS PLUS

I'm not disagreeing with you, I agree we should have focused on some bigger mids.Rewatch the second half of the second showdown to see the fun that'll come from our stacked forward line and awful midfield.
Half this board would have to change what they write as their occupation on their tax returns…Yes. The hand wringing and teeth gnashing is totally unnecessary.
So our mods are short asses like our short ass mids?I'm not disagreeing with you, I agree we should have focused on some bigger mods.
However, we have, what we have.
So do you see improvement in our mids for 2023 , or do you see the 2nd half of the showdown as the norm ( in high pressure games)
I was wondering the same thing…So our mods are short asses like our short ass mids?
