For Nick Riewoldt to say that he would rather line up on May or Lever, over Frost...confirmed everything for me.

Lever would be closer to having the endurance to run with him though, Riewoldt would have blown Frosty up in half a quarter by charging up and down the field

The bigger surprise to me is that we've moved Petty forward (apparently once he's fit) and bought in Mitch Brown for key forward depth but we haven't added any key defensive depth.

It's May, Oscar, Lever and then more third tall options in Smith and Hore. That might be enough for this year but who's up next if Oscar doesn't improve and guys continue to get injuries?

State league key defenders have a decent success rate, I would've liked to add one for some depth and competition. We've still got the Nietschke spot open and I'd be looking for a young developing tall to put some time in to.

Technically true but we get fit Lever, Nev and hopefully May in the side from the start of the season. A very different scenario to last year.

If May continues his injury prone stint with us, we get the 2019 version of O Mac and Lever doesn't become the star we were expecting.

And if your aunty had wheels, she'd be a bicycle.  Stop jumping at shadows and "what ifs".

That's what I'm hoping for but there's no future planning right now. For some reason we keep the Wagner's on the list who no one wants to be in the team unless we have a dozen injuries but we aren't putting development time in to a young key defender who could replace Oscar in a couple of years.

Omac is a young player, still has not reached is upside yet

Omac is 24 in a couple of weeks.
