Opinion Non-Crows AFL 7

Grimes too.

They probably need to start a rebuild process next season.

And no first rounder this year.

Their list is ****ed.

 

[GROTTO]

I am being more philosophical here. We need another A grade mid or maybe 2 to really set us up as our front half and back half looks fairly set..I think it is much harder to land what we need to propel us right up the ladder compared to what port need with their 3 top end young mids running the show

Time will tell who if any of the teams gets to the summit

Almost every Flag winner in the 21st century at least, has had elite blue chip mids in their team.

Ours are not and will never be.

GWS feeling good about having Richmond’s 1st rounder...

Richmond are now in no man's land.

I think the mid we need is also going to have leg speed, not going to be easy to find

 

[GROTTO]

Truck to do a Ratten and be caretaker coach of Richmond?

Dawson absolutely could be - he has only just moved in there and has been a revelation. Rachele could also be. But a Will Day would have been such a good get for us in hindsight..shame he has signed on for the forseeable

Edit - Pedlar is an intriguing one - he might never be a 25 + possession player but he could be that real tiger in the middle for stints and end up being a tough, high energy clearance specialist

Fingers crossed on Pedlar to keep developing and get a tank where he can rack up ball..he is the one on the list with huge potential to go with Dawson and Rachele if we can't snare another A grader

Yes, my apologies definitely agree here. We do need to bat deeper than just Dawson, we really need 3 to 4 players running through there that are elite or very close to that.

I have no concerns about Pedlar, he’ll be a beauty

 

[BACCS]

Was not even on my radar as a coach that would leave this year, wow

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Would be a fair chance.

The one that could add to next year may be Jones

big call

Like Hawthorn being on top for 5/6 years takes a toll on the list.

Like Hawthorn, it's tough to build back up.


Unlike his good mate Clarko, Dimma is leaving at the right time.

Yep but if he maintains his current form for the remainder of the season, start with mids nxt preseason

I am open to trying anything to improve the team...but I like the phrase - hope for the best, plan for the worst. I would be moving every stone to try and get in an A grade mid OR a young mid that projects that way, all whilst doing what you suggest

Doesn’t mean we don’t stop improving our list, Jones maybe a break glass if we can’t land one

Getting an elite A grade mid has the biggest priority this off season.

Richmond are now in no man's land.

I doubt the supporters would be too fussed given they have won 3 premierships in 7 years. I would happily take that and be okay with a decade of pain.

Look, if we could get Redman as a FA - brilliant as he will certainly add to our side..but absolutely we need to be aggressive trying to prise out one of the better younger mids in the leage and if they have SA roots more the better

 

[GROTTO]

Interesting optics of the Carlton board salivating and frothing at the mouth at the opportunity to get Hardwick.

Interesting times ahead for Voss.

Just one win in the past 6 weeks and that was vs the Eagles.

Dawson aside, if we can't find an A grade midfielder either from within/trade/draft the season is a bust.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Teams usually fire up in a caretaker's first match.

Agree. Think it makes them more likely to win

 

[ABAB]

You somehow consider the transition of Rachele into the midfield and continual improvement of Soligo as a midfielder a "bust"? Aren't we after A grade midfielders? A bonus will be seeing Pedlar more on ball end of this season.

 

[killtaker1993]

Hinkley being poached by Richmond would be wonderful
