Findlayson is a highly talented player but defintely a confidence player. He was a major catalyst to winning games until he fell off the map (probably mainly due to his home situation). We have been unlucky with our key forwards (Marshall's concussion issues).
I know we all questioned the sanity of trading Wingard and Polec for magic beans- our List Management proved to be wise and inspired.
I know we have questioned the sanity of letting players players go for under but I believe our willingness to be the nice guys at the draft table was fundamental to being able to land Horne-Francis- our List Management proved itself again.
However, Atkins and McEntee on the list, putting in jeopardy getting Rome onto our list and the capitulation at the trade table over Houston makes me think our List Management has jumped the shark. We will know in about 8 days.

What part of trading our most talented player for Xavier Duursma and Ryan Burton proved to be 'wise and inspired'?
The vibe.

Thoughtful and balanced critique.
Has nuanced his elite abilities, plus his shortcomings, most eloquently.

Theoretically the Small Fwd Depth Chart now reads:
Rioli
SPP
Richards
DBJ
Berry
McEntee
Anastopolous
Charleson
Of our 42 player list, nearly 20% in that zone. With Benny Barrett possibly still to come.
Probably the thing that worries me the most going into 2025 is that the coaches haven't realised Rozee has failed in finals and big games in the midfield for several years, and they look like they are going to commit to selecting him there. IMO he needs to be moved forward.
After watching that footage though of Berry, I'm seriously thinking he might be more of a wingman.

McEntee and probably Charleson should come off that list within 12 months. Who knows how good Anastosopoulos might become? Would seem to have a lowish ceiling but may improve quickly with better SANFL players around him. Rioli is 29. Berry at least adds potential A-grade talent there, and if he can hit the ground running it will be fun to have him overlap with Rioli for a few years. I'm hoping we take Barrett too.
If Rozee is ever going to move out of the midfield, then for me it will be to HB.
Reckon we need a bit more midfield depth.

This is probably my biggest concern. To get to a flag, I reckon we need more quality mids. We need a lot of things from a depth perspective, Key back, key fwd, a ruck soon, half back, wingers, but that mid space is probably the area that will make the biggest immediate impact on results for mine.
Rozee is a shit field kick for mine and that doesn't work at half back anymore given our existing balance, to me he's a player with valuable goal sense, and elite evasiveness, and should play forward.
Don't think Charleson will last long. He reminds me of Taj Schofield a bit. Too small and not really a forward.
Not sure if it’s been by circumstance or design that we routinely pick a small forward as sub. About 20% of the list being small forwards is pretty consistent with the make up of our best 23.

What on earth has Joe Richards done to suggest he'd be ahead of DBJ on the depth chart?

Everyone and his dog wants to move DBJ back to defence despite him not being suited to how we play now and leading our G+GA in 2024 and our GA in 2023. It's ridiculous. I swear to god people don't actually watch our games.
He's a really good forward. He's clever, composed, can bash and crash but has pretty clean hands, good vision and knows where the goals are. He'll be even better in 2025 when he's got SPP back making defenders short step and look over their shoulder.
Joe Richards might become great but 25yo small forwards who have played 9 games for 6 goals historically don't turn into quality long term AFL players. I can't immediately think of someone who fits that criteria apart from maybe Marlion Pickett who obviously might have debuted earlier if he wasn't in prison.
By needing to show that the club knows what they're doing because they traded a reigning back to back AA for 3x players that played in the VFL last season.
