Yes.

Yeah, I love Tom Morris too. He's fantastic.

Why would we want to play a third tall who can't join in on offence or line break? Which teams are structuring up like this? Geelong is the closest comparison with Gutherie, Henry and Stewart, but Guthrie for example carries the ball and joins in on offence. Lever has never shown this ability IMO.

I've already explained above why I don't see Lever in the team, but I'll do it again. He struggles to join in on offence, struggles 1v1 against any size, and isn't quick. He doesn't suit the game style that is ball park Geelong.

This would be massive. We should, but I'm not convinced we will. Viney is the other elephant in the room. Ala Mitchell (May), Lewis (Viney) and Hodge (Lever) leaving Hawthorn. But Hawthorn staggered Hodge until the following year from memory. Trac may still go too, so that would be too much to lose in one off season, I reckon.

It's not his injuries. He's an elite reader of the play and structural guy, but he struggles to join in on offence, struggles in 1v1s against any height, and isn't particularly quick. Unless we can manufacturing a slowing down of the transition game, not something it seems King is interested in, I can't see how he fits at this stage.

I wouldn't have Lever in my side next year and Derksen would be on the fringe.

TMac is great depth ans provides excellent leadership. He's a quality character.

I don't mind the overpaying, I think we just made the wrong pick. But it is what it is.

But you'd agree that Kolt is not of the Langford, Lindsay and even Windsor class?

Our list management strategy is based off the reality of being a smaller club without a proper home base. This is a huge reason why we've struggled to land players. Instead, we look to draft our elite talent in as we know it's unlikely that we'll land a big fish. IMO, we need to add one or two more elite young talents in the next two years to Windsor, Lindsay, Langford and others. The draft is the way.

I think it was made before King's appointment.

Again, King is not the only list management decision maker. Nor should he be.

It does, but I think you'll find this decision was made before King was appointed. King has obviously signed off on it, but as he said in his presser, he'll trust those already on the ground at the MFC to have the knowledge base and history with May. Have loved watching him play, but he brings baggage that we can do without now.

Turner doesn't require mentioning because he's the only lock for our defensive talls. If Petty doesn't play forward, he'll be the other.
