No it isn’t.

The wings are an enormous upgrade on what we had last year. Whether or not they’re relevant is another argument.

The way we’re travelling we could get pick 6 this year. I’d be seeing what GC want for their first this year. Would they take ours next year and our fourth rounders this year?

Interesting engaging with the pies hierarchy yesterday and understanding their perspective on us and their own path.

I subscribe to their view that lists are all similar in terms of talent and potential gaps. Timing and development are the differentiators with talent.

At all points in time a list will have gaps. The pies would talk to a lack of key position strength (forwards and back - to support Moore). It’s how you work with the talent you have that makes the difference - development and game plan, supported by an appropriate culture.

Yesterday, on the biggest stage we once again demonstrated poor execution and an absolute lack of connection with a group that is capable of so much more. Typically, our default has been to rebuild - with a new coach or new set of players.

My focus would be on making the call to clean out those 4 or 5 players that are consistently injured. It impacts our depth and agility. And significantly id be reviewing the structure and talent that supports Voss.

Let’s be ruthless and courageous and build rather than re-build.

Agree London no flexibility to adapt list with Marchbank Cunningham Martin Williams Philp always injured
Add McGovern to that as well

Doesn’t help either that a few of them are on significant bucks

It really annoys me that stocker and perhaps Setterfield both solid rather than anything else are likely to play finals but we are not

Need to be surgical with list cutting No point having Dow Fogarty etc if they aren’t getting a senior game

Good post lb. Because our list was so terrible post Malthouse, I get the feeling the club (including us supporters) have obsessed over building the perfect list as priority over building a winning system.

For once we've had minimal injuries the last 2 weeks & we've still looked the same

Yes enormous upgrades.......12.5% kicking efficiency last week, bombing the ball forward to no real advantage, handballs directly to opposition players, 7 kicks to 18 handballs for a wing, 116m gained and that's just Acres.
And Hollands is average to below average in just about every statistic so far this year, let's not forget his bomb kick from a mark to Harry in a 5 on 1 this week.
With quality performances like this I'm surprised we aren't at the top to the ladder.

I agree

And I'll add our lack of speed is a major differential to us and most of the top teams, if we had more speed we'd be a lot closer to the top of the ladder, especially in the midfield group.

I’m sorry mate. I didn’t realise the extent of your dysmorphia.

I’ll leave you be.

I just can’t get my mind away from the dual roles that Luke Power occupies.

In terms of cap spend, Dan O’Keeffe was replaced with a very green Ebert & a duplication in Lonergan.

That can’t be how year two was drawn up when Vossy signed on.

Dysmorphia?
Righto champ.
If you are going to insult me instead of having a civil discussion, at least understand the meaning of the words you are using to insult me with.

I reckon Walsh should be captain, just saying.

I havent wanted to point this out before, but this little ripper carved us up yesterday. Fast, good kick and clean hands



How I would love that trade to have gone differently

The Stocker kid goes well across half back as well.......defends and attacks.

Oh my

- 3 of the 4 in between are no longer on a list.
- We actively traded back in to get Stocker from that position, why would a team that finished last year the before actively trade a future first-round pick, just to nab a small forward? It's not exactly a "pick the best available" scenario there given we could have easily chosen to keep pick 4 for 2019 instead.
- Motlop's numbers far outweigh Hill's in his second season, despite Hill playing in a better side that got more ball inside 50.

Ridiculous.

Yep . We need a few blokes with a bit of shit in them . Been sayin" it for years .
