No one that actually understood football and followed the draft closely for the previous 4 years before Griffen left thought that.

We will be competitive but I still think we are in for some hue blow outs. We look slow and it worries me.

Saying that, we need to finish bottom 3 three this year and next to secure the best mids we can get.

We need to flood the midfield with high end first round picks like the Dees have with Viney, Oliver, Petraca, Bradshaw and Stretch

We have Cripps..... and that's it

I don't think the likes of Cuningham Polson Fisher SPS Smedts will take long to pick up the pace, especially if given consistent senior game time. Add Charlie and Crippa and we're looking pretty good going forward.

Definitely soothes the pain watching our core group of elite young guns last night.

Marchbank SPS Weits Jack Pickett Macreadie Charlie...

Confidently predict we'll ok with this rebuild.

Yeah I tend to agree.

I get the whole call for Patience during the rebuild but you still gotta build an attractive brand! It's not like suporters and sponsors are gonna throw money at the club when it's essentially saying "We're gonna be shit for a couple of years!"

The hope is encapsulated in playing Macreadie as lambs replacement. Playing a kid and sacrificing short term team balance

A sacrificial Lamb?

I see what you did there

Fogarty, Penrith, trade Gibbs for at least 1 first rounder, another ten players gone, a couple of free agents (Spencer, Duryea, Pittard, Rockliff) added to our young crop.

Love Fogarty will be a star bull midfielder already 193 cm but will be difficult to separate from Brander a great tall few ad ruck.
Is Penrith in our Northen zone ? Will come cheap have read good things.
We'll need help

I think that is a most likely scenario.

I'm guessing all of Jones, boeky, Jakesh, white, graham, Buckley, army, Daisy, lamb, sumner and gorringe gone at years end

We have only 3 players with any currency

Gibbs
Kruezer
Cazbolt

Need to get a pick or two out of these

Can't afford to lose Kreuzer, with only Phillips and Gorringe on the books

Hard to think anyone would offer up a pick for Casboult.

No club has to offer anything for Casboult, he is a free agent
Clubs will come after Kruezer, also a free agent, so lets hope if we do lose him we at least get fairly compensated..

Penrith is on our books for the zone rules. Many phantom drafts have him around 20-40 mark at the start of the year.

Sam Hayes in return for Kreuzer would be a good dream.

Surely with a name like that he'd be in GWS's zone

I so enjoyed seeing Betts, Yarran, Walker and Garlett. Three let go and one retired.

Round 1 and we are talking about which of our other top players we can trade out.....disgraceful.
