Hi I absolutely think we do given HOF is out for 12 months
My preference is Blight delisted by Richmond

Others prefer our boy Phillips and others Dean from Collingwood

Frosty has been mentioned in despatches and of course there is Liam Jones
Lets play closest to the pin

Blight is my choice what is yours

We just need a KP player to give us more flexibility and balance.

Dont know who. Anyone think any decent ones from delisted list. Blight is one that comes up by many.

Phillips was my choice but can't kick. Frost can't kick. Jones is cooked (and can't kick). Lewis Young can't kick. Can Blight kick?

We have Weitering, Young, and HoF as Key Defenders.
As Key Forwards we have McKay and HoK.
As 3rd forward/back options we have Kemp, Haynes, McGovern (?)

We will be drafting Dean although there are doubts, he is big enough to play KP @ AFL level and losing HoF for 12 months.
IMO, if I were a list manager I'd be drafting one of each - forward and back.
I would also rookie Lemmey.

stop mentioning young he is not good enough weak slow ,but a good mark though .Yes we need another kpd with speed so when we play syd who picks up curnow

I still haven't given up on Young as a KPF. I reckon there's something there.

Not discounting young at all Surrey I think he gets a bad rap sometimes and in the jordan Russell scapegoat category but need another on our list particularly if weitering goes down

Dean I think is 193 cms so a bit short and a bit too much to ask him to play on the Gorillas at this stage

Phillips and rookie Lemmey

Ideally, a mature age gorilla who can play at both ends and ruck in a pinch. He doesn’t have to be a world beater, but has to be ready to play round one if needed, and give us depth for a couple of years while Helmet Jr and HoF develop.

Yeah , we need to pick up a couple of calls . Dean isn't big enough . They all seem to be pushing 200 cm these days . With out going into it deeply I'm with Danny . Philipps and Lemmey as a rookie . Blight aint bad . In the draft I would look at that SA kid Schubert .

ABSOLUTELY

NEED one KPD and one KPF to balance up our list.

Not newbies finding their feet.

We need well developed players who could cut it in the AFL

I posted in List Management at 2.32 today explaining why and how.

Good points well made Bondi . But if Schubert is available in preference to a mature ager I would take Schubert . Your thoughts on the young bloke Bondi ?

We can afford to take another KP forward to develop if we believe HoK is next man up and is ready and even Reidy is able to play forward/ruck, especially if we draft Lemmey as a rookie.

Given the job description, I don’t know if we’re going to do better than Phillips.

Whoever it is, they’ll get their shot - and there’s always an advantage being the incumbent. Make no mistake though, it’s a 12 month assignment.

Round 1 2027, it’s Weitering, O’Farrell, Dean at the back.

He wont be around for our SSP and MSD. IF we can get him with our first rounder, that would more than make up for leaving out Lemmey off the Primary List.

I feel we have plenty of class in the middle to add to Cripps and Hewett for the next couple years. With those playing on, and so they should if they keep bringing the heat, we are adding Jagga and Tex jnr to the current lot. That's plenty.

We need our KPD stocks stocked up. I'm really strong on that.
If you have a look at who we've dropped and who taken on since covid its easy to see we haven't replenished exprience lost.
When you factor age and height, its really obvious we have gone too young, and still rely on Lewis Young to fill a KPF, KPD, or ruck role or spmeone 10cm plus shorter. That's a lot of for one bloke to carry, and that's why I take my hat off for him, because the club know his value.

List Mgt have a chance to fix that up this draft. WEW have picks 9 & 11.
What happens if the name Dean isn't called at those picks.
BINGO!!

Go into deficit after Dean and Ison with 2 firsts lined up for Walker, plus a 2nd plus a 3rd???

This is the draft that can trump 2015 without having Pick 1.

Rubbing hands.
He's a good one Mick. Now I need a KPD I can rely on too.

Austin has only 4 clubs to deal with ahead of our pick 9: WCE Richmond Effendopes and Melb.

Austin's a good guy to deal with. Surely List Managers from what Ive seen from the 4 clubs sound like good guys.
Called it the post Dodoro era. Nudge Nudge...you owe me later.

Then there's Hawthorn ahead of Pick 11.

I reckon that's going to happen.

No way is Dean and Top 12 pick this year imo.
Hype is as much about the lack of choice for KPDs.
He 193cm. List Managers don't know if he'll be 196, 107.
If he doesn't and the other teams burn a top 10 pick for a 193cm defender
Plus they'd piss off Carlton.
On the flipside we will get Dean if Hawks play funny buggers.

I reckon its going to happen.

Dean will get called out between 15 and 22.
That's my flip.... and we will be scambling for points and into next years....and lose Ison and ....I'll get my coat.

Make no mistake, when that happens, it was meant to be.

No disgrace moving aside for those 3 together in 2027.
I'm more than happy with that troupe defending
