Hmm. Very subjective but I'd have Spargo/Billings/Woewodin/Bowey ahead of Chandler and Tholstrup (at this stage) Then swap Rivers and MCVee around and I'd be happy with that. I also like the thought of Darcy Fort as a backup ruckman. 1 Quote

I would also look to replace Salem. Unfortunately I feel he is past his best and can't contribute as much these days. He's now part of our bottom 6 players in the list, and with the new emergence of young talent I just can't see how he can fit our list. 1 1 Quote
Jibroni 5,057 Posted July 22, 2024 Posted July 22, 2024 I thought Harley Reid would be CHF? A bit early for this. 3 1 Quote
The end is nigh 447 Posted July 23, 2024 Posted July 23, 2024 Pickett as a starting mid is a waste. He’s a top liner in his primary position as a small crumbing forward. The forward line put forth has much less of that. also whilst I don’t necessarily disagree with the proposed list changes, it’s July. 2 1 Quote

Little Goffy 14,963 Posted July 23, 2024 Posted July 23, 2024 Feels odd seeing people recruiting aggressively to fill our half-back line! I think we're going okay for the lighter built types of players. Can't see anything stopping Brown being a regular at AFL next season. A little more strength and fitness and te time learning the roles will let him unleash that relentless terrier attitude very effectively. Then we just have to monitor the progress of Bowey, AMW, Howes and Woewodin. That's four potential and likely young smalls running around, with Howes as a mobile 191cm. I've absolutely got Tholstrup in our best 22 as I think every pre-season will add some real potency to him. I forget who mentioned he had a bit of Paul Chapman about him but gee it fits in every way except the hair. Sparrow does a job. I've said before that I expect more of him but he isn't 'failing' so much as not growing. The big uncertainty is what we do with the key positions - this time next season we could have all four of our remaining presidential draft picks (ex Jackson; Jefferson, Adams, Harrison, Van Buren) holding key positions, or just the two already out there. The ruck problem isn't an uncertainty - it is a 'requires action' item. I have long-term faith in Verral but the immediate problem has its own thread so I'll let it go. Without a single player traded out or de-listed ahead of their contract, and while keeping Melksham and McDonald, we're looking at six or seven list spots opening up. It's going to be a big draft and so will 2025. 1 Quote

poita 3,944 Posted July 24, 2024 Posted July 24, 2024 I'm more concerned about what our 2027 team looks like, and how we recruit and develop adequate replacements for Gawn, May, McDonald, Viney, Melksham and Salem in that time, whilst acknowledging that Lever, Langdon, Petracca, Fritsch and Neal-Bullen are also 30 by then.
