WA Demon Boy

Jackson will be mauled by Nic Nat and could also get exposed on Optus. Need to play Weid. Big year for Weid too He didn't kick more than 2 in a game last year and even with terrible supply and low volume it's still a touch concerning. I know he's only 22 but I just want to see him impose himself on games more - seems to lack a bit of hardness in crashing packs or really throwing himself around I'll be watching him very closely this year...

Let's just beat the Pies this year and then we can come back to him. Comments like this hold zero weight.

We need Salem - even if he is at 80% His kicking at Optus, given how big it is, would be sorely missed if he doesn't get up for it.

Physically tough is always a bonus but I don't think think it's a priority. We have a plethora of these. To be honest, we probably need someone who isn't as physical, almost hangs off the pack but can hit players lace out, particularly i50. A Lachie Whitfield type would be a dream.

AVB is a hard, tough big bodied boy and I love the way he goes about his footy but this could be a silver lining for someone else to fill his shoes who adds something different to the side.

I agree I think our list is thereabouts but it's missing 1 maybe even 2 genuine stars who can break a game apart like Martin or Dangerfield. I understand these players don't grow on trees but that's just the reality. Otherwise we need another clone of Bayley Fritsch or Trac - these two are so important. They both have to have big years for us to play finals
