What do you regard as the most pressing needs?How can anyone possibly think mcgovern is worth a million a year to us. He is good but he doesnt fill a pressing need for us.
Would be terrible list management.
I think we do need at least a developing KPD, Keath is starting to look like he doesn't have a body that is going to stand up to the rigours or work load of the AFL system and he's basically our only real depth in that area , Hartigan and Cheney seem to be have recurring hamstring issues which is a worry. In an ideal world Otten is only depth and isn't playing AFL. Dear has been tried and failed to impress down back in the SANFL, really can't see us persevering with him on our list much longer unless he all of a sudden shows massive improvement.Unless Roo is being coy he laughed at the suggestion of Gov, we don’t need a defender and don’t have the cap.

Unless Woodcock has an amazing growth spurt he's not playing AFL midfield.I think we have the list to win a flag.
Do we have the game plan, hard edge and courage at the selection table is probably the big question. A bit of luck doesn't go astray.
Surely the best trade targets are in this draft.
The more I look at the players I don't think 3 picks in top 20 is enough.
Would like 1 more and build a goal kicking midfield that keeps producing to 2030.
Rankine
Rozee
Hately
Bytel
Woodcock
What would Lynch, Rat and Pick 38 get us?
Or Lynch Rat and next years 1st.
Build a great midfield and Lukosius will be begging to be traded after 2-3 years of limited or crap delivery from Brisbane or Carlton mids knowing he's going to get a decade of lace out supply.
Forward line of Rozee Fogarty Rankine, McGovern, Lukosius + any flog will look good next to these.
He's not, but overpaying is generally how you lure FA's.How can anyone possibly think mcgovern is worth a million a year to us. He is good but he doesnt fill a pressing need for us.

In all seriousness our chances of landing Jeremy are remote at best IMO.Get Gov and Hartigan becomes depth

Haven't seen him play live so I'll be waiting to see if he gets a gig at the Championships, Stefan Racanovic is the defender I like in this year's draft on what I've seen with my own eyes.Riley Grundy?
What do you regard as the most pressing needs?
I don't think that we should be addressing these areas by trade/free agency. Our forwards aren't exactly ready to retire - Waker (28), Lynch (27), Betts (31), Jenkins (29), McGovern (23). Out of that group, only Betts has showed signs of slowing down but he is still one of the best small forwards in the game. I would be happy to trade in the long term Betts replacement as they can play along side Betts in place of Gallucci until Betts retires, but only if there is a quality small forward available otherwise draft one or look at Fantasia in a couple of years time.Our most pressing needs are the midfield and our aging forward line.

I think the chances are higher we field go home offers for Mitch then we give big offers to Jeremy...In all seriousness our chances of landing Jeremy are remote at best IMO.
we will lose Sloane so our midfield should be a priority
Arenthere any serious midfield trade targets who are best in class?we will lose Sloane so our midfield should be a priority
Depending on Sloane, another gun mid is of pressing concern regardless of how the lesser lights have done thus far.What do you regard as the most pressing needs?
Young Tom Lewis from Sturt looks very very promising as a midfielder that we should have every chance of looking at with Carlton's pick and I really like the look of Mihail Lochowiak with a later pick..is raw but looks strong, fast and could become a very good player. Ideally with 2 1st round picks, carltons 2nd and 3rd round picks we should get 4 really good quality players into the club and even with a later pick we could also bring in some real talent. I think the club should be targeting midfielders first and formost and maybe a KPD. Then if Sloane leaves, we will get another 1st rounder and to get in top end talentBring back Bas - nice post above, I agree that adding J.McGovern would be gold, but the likely loss of Sloane brings our midfield back to the pack in terms of absolute quality (especially given how often Brad Crouch is injured).
I’d love to land two midfield guns in the draft. Losing Sloane but adding J.McGovern and two of Rankine/Hately/Rozee is the best outcome for me.
If Sloane was to leave then we'd suddenly have a bit of money to play with.Unless Roo is being coy he laughed at the suggestion of Gov, we don’t need a defender and don’t have the cap.
I'm starting to think Rory stays so cap the main issue
Just a good feel and fact I can't think of a club in flag window in Melb he would get toBased on?
