I dont think we have enough talent yet.....this list will struggle to beat the better teams now and in the future if we dont beef it up with some A grade gamebreakers who can win games.
Another two seasons of drafting with some decent early picks is what we need and be nice to get some bonus talent off the rookie list like WC did when they fluked Cox, Fletcher etc
So what you're saying is that Walker, Murphy, Gibbs, Waite, Fevola aren't enough in terms of game breakers? And we don't expect Grigg, Benji or Russell to have any major impact going forward?
Clearly the list will struggle now because they are all too young. Their bodies aren't yet built up for long tough AFL seasons.
But in 3 years time, still not enough talent. We have pretty much the same mix of draft picks that WC have and they are the dominant team at the minute. How many game breakers do they have? Judd, Kerr? Any others?
Fev is the only gamebreaker we have...he wins games.
On what I have seen from our kids I would like to cover my bets with a bit more talent to supplement them....
You expect some of them to fail cos thats the nature of the business for example Jordan Russell should be giving us a similar output that Pendlebury is from Collingwood....the Collingwood kid has been in the system less years and is no natural adonis but is impacting games.
I have not see too much of that from our lot.....I'd like to do what Hawthorn have done and give myself more chances to find impact players by having some more picks at the better talent and having a deeper pool of kids to rebuild with.....
