I certainly agree with this. Not without giving up a shitload!!!
I would like to bring in another A-grade mid TBH. I think we still fall short against the better midfields - dawks, filth as examples



thats where Lucas wil come

he will be an elite midfielder

I’m of the same opinion. Certainly showed the poise and ability to find the ball to suggest he belongs.
I think we need another. Perhaps Yazz and allow Touhy to settle in his spot off half back? Although we probably take a hit there in that Zach doesn’t possess the sheer pace and class that Chris does. But I want Yarran in the midfield. This is where he needs to be moving towards. Hopefully another pre-season will give him the tank he requires.

But if one was for the taking in trade week (midfielder that is), I wouldn’t be too critical – as long as its not another Brock deal!!! :eek:

It takes some imagination to see Hampson kicking 50 goals next year, but it is the silly season.



Make a definitive decision on Hampson playing FF all year (yes, every game)...don't deviate from it, train him to play that role all summer and 50 goals is highly likely.

We stuck with Yarran at HB all year even when it wasn't working and he's slowly grown into the role. Ditto with Hampson. The Paul Salmon of the 21st century. Mark it down

Hampson, Kreuzer and Warnock in the same team all fit and firing can be a weapon that no other team in the competition could match. It is up to the coaching staff to develop a plan that will enable our team to take advantage of what these three big guys have to offer. We have had flooding, zoning, presses etc. etc. I hope our coaches are thinking about a gameplan that exploits what we have at our disposal. I think from a list point of view we are in a unique position from the rest of the competition.



Correct. We need to stop pigeon holing Hampson as a ruckman. The guy could be anything. If he could improve his marking only, add another 30 goals to our season total. Betts, Garlett et al will feast on his crumbs and deft taps when he can't mark. But yes.....he needs a targeted pre-season of instruction and learning.
