Feel like our overuse of the ball really kills our structure and ball movement. We stuff around with handballs where we move backwards and sideways which results in yuk high entries. Also makes it hard for forwards to know when to lead and opposition mids and ruckman to sag back.
If we get Jones and Lobb it will help but it’s not the silver bullet. We need to stop overusing the ball. Use a Richmond style game of low possession through the middle and move it forward quicker with our forwards playing in front.

While we're publicly eyeing Jones & Lobb as if 30+ year old band-aids are the difference-makers that'll push us over the top.
Lazy, lazy recruiting.

They are our two youngest ones that get midfield minutes too
Personnel doesn’t mean much for us until we’ve sorted our defensive structure.
We could pick up Curnow, Weitering and Andrews and there will still be holes galore in our structure. Our setup is mind boggling when we don’t have the footy.
Re-signing Caleb to such a long deal could turn out to be a mistake. For me it is super clear that we can't afford so many offensively minded players in defence, and we need a re-jig. Dale has gone ahead of him, and both Richards and Dale are better defensively, so he's the likely candidate to need another spot.
Agreed. He was one that could have waited. Needs a positional change too.

Spot on mate , and bevo trying to slot in treloar aswell
Bloke with 2 knee recos has been our best mid all year.
Bloke with 3 knee recos played in our flag side.
I'd even go one further and say we need to target another defender (in addition to Jones) this trade period. Nathan Broad is seemingly out of contract? If we end up losing Dunkley and also freeing up cash through Hunter we could get him and go into 2023 with a line up like this which is so much better balanced.
FB: Broad, Jones, Duryea
HB: Richards, Keath/Gardner, Dale
C: Williams, Libba, B.Smith
HF: JJ, Naughton, West
FF: Weightman, Lobb, Ugle-Hagan
R: English, Bont, Macrae
Int: Treloar (Mid-Forward), Daniel (Mid-Forward), McNeil (Forward), Darcy (Defence)
Emerg: Bruce, Mclean, Sweet, Garcia

Coaches are smart, they have worked Daniel out, expose him defensively and put lots of pressure on him. Do this and he is an ordinary footballer. He kills the mid to bottom teams but can struggle when it goes up a notch.

SURELY we are all over Darcy Gardiner?
NO! He is terrible!

Bergmann apparently has explosive pace, I'll take that.
Either way we need to get serious this trade period, already f****** Geelong and Richmond are being linked to Hopper, Taranto and De Goey and you just know they'll bloody land one while the likes of us p*** around the edges.

Schache is gone
He is going to a club that will settle him in one position not place him all over the ground.
He will make something of it.
Can easily see Schache doing a Lewis Young and doing well elsewhere if he’s settled in one spot. Another Bevo special.

We were very keen on him in his draft year, went one pick before Weightman.
Pacey wingman we could definitely use that, pretty good kick from the few times I have seen him
He won’t.
Lol love all these posters trying to make out that Schache is better than he is because Beveridge “refuses” to play him in his proper position…even though he played forward for two years and only moved back when he had zero impact up forward.
