I don't think you even understand what point you're defending
the flowers career depleting injury and mickys influence to recruit on ridiculous terms back too ratten's era and our #1 draft picks and now we go back 15 years just to excuse micky, daisy and their absolute negative influence and effect at their time in our club

as I suspected it's too late

This has been done to death....
Poor recruiting, development and list management coupled with a board that cant run a football club

One week at a time Michael.
I'm referring to the now and how current examples of Mick's brilliance still haunt me.
The previous decade is another story.
I'm questioning Daisy's 'old' injury, rubber stamped by some doctor the club uses (?) and Mick Malthouse, and its relevance to our current fortunes.
Its not Daisy's fault, but he is taking up $700K in salary for the next 21 months, moving forward.

Don't you think that is relevant for this week, our current dilemma and fortunes for the next 2 seasons?

Surely u can't be happy getting 100 games from a bloke who was a pick 6??

I know hindsight is always a wonderful thing and that's why I wrote development and culture as well as drafting

In the end though we are paying minimum salary cap.

I'd agree with that, unfortunately.

I have been around a bit longer & I can remember 1964 (our centenary year) wasn't too flash

Ian Nankervis (a well known unknown) won our goal kicking with 18 sausage rolls

I like many others wonder who the @#$%&! is going to kick our goals this season

I must say I was very excited by the form of our young players 22 and under. Cripps, kerridge, boekhurst, Graham, weitering. Looking forward to seeing what plowman and Sumner have to offer.

Excitement is tempered that we still have a ways to go. Our forward line is a big concern. If we can find ways to score well surprise a few teams.

Plowman and Sumner can change our fortunes this year if we can ep a healthy squad on the field ie minimum injuries and suspensions.

Whilst we do have a very good core of midfielders we lack depth in that area, as well as the small forward. If Sumner lives up to the expectations when he was drafted and overcome recent foot problem and get really fit he may surprise.

Plowman hasn't blitzed in the GWS team, but he has shown signs as a kid that he will make a good AFL footballer. If Plowman can get really fit and find form, and take the next step up he will be a great swingman. Faster than Hendo, but hasn't got the runs on the board as Hendo did (despite some criticism from some supporters).

Other than those 2, and the inclusion of Murphy, I'm hoping either Bryne or Sheehan or both step up this year to give us more midfield depth.

Where are the goals going to come from? I think uncontested possessions should be the bulk of our focus and every now and then Casboult catches a few too.

Team showed a lot of improvement on 2015 in NAB 1 and 3 against last years finalists and premier.

No, its totally overplayed taking up 90% of the media space.
If you want to focus on key negatives that will impact longterm
I would be focussing on Kreuzers inability to play forward
Our marking ability across the ground
