I am certain of one point
5. Our midfield is one-paced.
While we have Dow and Fisher, who certainly have speed/bust, others need to find continuity to balance the shortfall
Lang, Garlett, Pickett, Cuningham, 2 or 3 of these guys, need to come on
These players, plus Polson, have very important years coming up. I'm not confident on any of them. Hopeful, but not confident.
I'm rapt with the core of our young list now. It is pretty complete now after adding Walsh. Now that our young core is in place, for the next 2 years we add speed, speed, speed imo.
I know you wanted to somehow add Smith this year, and i would have preferred RCD to Stocker. Both of us for added speed reasons largely. But i'm very happy with what we've assembled now as core and i know you are too.
Speed is the logical last component to add. That's the next 2 years trade/draft. Phase 3 if you like.
