Definite head start, can't argue with that. But they do need to remain under the cap, so can still only accumulate a certain amount of talent. It should be a wake up call to our list management and strategy groups that filling your 22 full of hard working mediocre foot soldiers will not get you a flag. The list composition needs to change to have more talent at the top end and less value spent on holding and retaining depth.
I think the crowd would prefer to see a top line international music act. It effectively adds $50 to the price of a ticket, 5 of their best songs isn't bad value.
I don't know about Hinge in the middle. That'd make 3 one sided left footed players in the rotation, might be a bit easy to defend against if there's 2 in at the same time.

McQualter has a better record as interim coach than his replacement...

Indeed.
Did they know who the new coach was going to be at the time of their decision.
They were allegedly awaiting the coach decision. Both nominated WCE almost immediately once the news ‘broke’ this morning.

The concern is potentially overpaying for Baker. But we need to boost the list, particularly in that age bracket. In line with Don’s vision of a more “modern” list build.

Wouldn't have thought cap would be an issue for you guys.
Baker is a very consistent player.
You get in 2 experienced players who will help lead the way with the younger players.

They have a player that’s going to take up good player 4 wages
Good problem to have I guess
Cap isn’t an issue. Overpaying in terms of giving up a good pick for Baker. But the report of that seems to be from the same place (VFL media) that are reporting 25 for ANB!
Happy to see both of our clubs improving our lists, mind you, we could do without losing Barrass!

Whenever the VAFL media are talking about a Victorian to non-Victorian club they talk overs...

Carlton clearly don't think Houston is worth Pick 11 in a strong draft.
I suspect the reality is beginning to set in that two first rounders was a pipe dream that was never realistic.
Ultimately Houston is only worth what club's are prepared to pay and it seems that Carlton think he's only worth a pick in teens.
I saw a clip of Rucci discussing Houston and he more or less hinted that Port needed to move Houston on to obtain draft capital, I suspect the "we'll keep him" threat is an empty one.
It could easily end up that the Houston and Luko trades could end up being around the same value.

I think Roos is spot on with his review of what Sydney are doing wrong - relying on offensive talent but no longer good at hard defensive footy. Believes they may have to trade out good players who won’t run both ways. Meanwhile Bucks shows footage of Gulden not chasing Lohmann, who gets the ball and goals in the second quarter. You can see that Gulden lets him go because he believes that his own team mate will win the current contest, so he wants to hold an offensive position, get the next kick from that contest and surge forward. Doesn’t happen, Lions win the contest, Lohmann gets the ball and goals.
There’s no doubt that Sydney failed to compete in the contest, and will need to add defensive muscle to their offensive talent.
Meanwhile rumour that Warner may want to go back to WA. Could be the start of the necessary reshuffle.

I think what Roos is saying about Sydney is rubbish. Brisbane were chokers for years with a seriously talented team and turned it around without making 'brutal' calls.
The guy who he didn't even end up trading (but wanted to) went on to win another premiership with Sydney.
Brutal calls is what you need to do if you're a team like the crows
