Looking at our line-up, we can really do with some quality wingers in the mould of Isaac Smith and Brad Hill.
Completely agree. I think we're short of outside runners and could still use another KPP type.
I think there's about 30-31 players genuinely of AFL standard right at this point. I have:
Jaksch Jamison Buckley
Simpson Rowe Docherty
Yarran Murphy Everitt
Walker Henderson Casboult
Thomas Jones Menzel
Kruezer Gibbs Judd
Cripps Curnow Tuohy Bell
I have Carrazzo, Sheehan, Whiley, Graham, White, Johnson, Tutt, Wood & Warnock missing out and the rest of the list I don't think are either ready for AFL or are good enough any more.
To me we lack a tall forward who's ready to step in. If we don't land Jones I think there's a big hole there.
More obvious though is the lack of outside run. Not much of it in the 22, and none of it in the reserves (unless we get Tutt, or keep Lucas, and their quality is still questionable). We're gathering a good collection of ball winners and improving our skill level, but
good teams will cut us up on the outside in our current setup.
Not if we've got the ball.
I'm bullish about Cripps and Whiley as extractors.
They wont be in the spotlight like Judd Murphy Gibbs Simpson Yarran
I think youve got a tall team...and I like it.
I think it can do without Jones but prefer him to start with.
We've also got White Watson and Giles to come through as back up.
Im not negative about Watson or Giles as they are developing. if fit they can contribute.
I agree about need for outside pace. We have Yarran, and was hoping Garlett would have developed his engine but...
Just one will do and should find one with pick 19 & 28...might be from the WAFL SAFL or VFL...they are out there.
