Without Crisp and Nick Daicos at half back we really look light on for options down there. Runners with footskills out of the back half should be a our top priority after inside mids.

Pies are set very well and this year we just need to go after Free Agents this year and I still think Shoota will be a great addition for us.
Play Eyre for the rest of the season as well as Long who made an immediate impact when brought on.
The biggest problems we have had this year I see are:
1. No McStay,
2. Not having enough of the top 20 players in the side for a 6 week stretch,
3. Mitchell missing.
Our game plan works when we have enough players on the ground that know and go to where they should be - if you have 1 or 2 that don't it all breaks down.
Next preseason we need to get the top 30 players to all know the game plan well enough to execute it and have players that can step in immediately and know their role and do it.
It is a rough patch but we will get through it stronger in 2025.

This isn’t new. We’ve known about this and hoped to snag a flag and we have. We’ve all known there’s a drop coming, we’ve weathered the storm well.
We started this season without our KPD and KPF. And it’s only gotten worse. Not ideal.
Hard to stay up the top, not many teams do. We’ve been up there for awhile (21) aside. That leaves a lack of genuine high end picks.
4 grand finals, 2 flags in 13 years who are we to complain.
The competition is designed to have falls and rises
If it was a loss in the GF this season would have been a lot more painful.
We’ve just had no sort of consistency at all this season despite the wins we’ve had. So much chopping and changing (mostly forced) is gonna prevent that
Wil Phil has risen from the ashes at North as a tagger so less likely he leaves now.
The other two, very gettable IMO. Davies in particular has played pretty well when he’s been in the Suns side this season

Didn't we try and get Fiorini last year.

Team Captain
Redrafting liam McMahon as a dfa could be an option? He keeps kicking goals, do any vfl watches know how he gets his goals? What kind of tall forward is he?
I didn't realise Alex Davies was so tall. Didn't take any notice of him in the 2020 draft ad he was a GCS Academy Pick. His draft profile reads OK.

This is all you need to know about McMahon, he's a twig and an ordinary player, it's not happening.

I still wish we'd drafted Teakle instead of Bytel.

Bytel is meh. Don't know what we saw in him. Will be delisted.

Teakle would have been handy in our current situation. Ruck/forward which would have allowed our defence to be more settled, rather than moving Howe & Frampton in & out of our defence each week.
That's the first thing I heard as Mr Apples walked through the door at 11pm last night! He doesn't let up about Teakle, but he wouldn't help us much at present as far as I can see.

Mr. Apples is incorrect. Teakle is a spud

I'm not suggesting he'd necessarily be the difference between winning or losing or increase our obvious lack of intensity...but he'd be the ruck/forward we desperately need which would mean we aren't robbing our defence to play forward each week...which in turn means our defence could have remained somewhat settled & built confidence & connection..which it's clearly been lacking.

Yep. Would have been a short term fix only and likely surplus to requirements before the end of the year.

A very handy short term fix in our current situation. Ruck/forward who has kicked 2 goals today.

I get that but I’m ok with us not picking him up.

I think he would have been handy yesterday, as opposed to Bytel playing VFL ..
Positive from this year is our senior list have all been given an AFL opportunity with roles and senior exposure. We have seen who may develop and who may not be part of our plans. Its been a rare opportunity to KNOW our deficencies rather than guess who may step up.
It will be an interesting off season to see who the club values now as part of our future.
