how bad is our recruiting if we chase Mcasey from (ADL), we have durdin waiting from rookie draft . What does our team need the most ? speed ,pace ,run ,our ball movement is to slow and if we add another kpd i think it is a waste of selection. Fly from collingwood said how strong and quick swans players are, thats what need AUSTIN.
Where did they get them from?
OK, I know that a few came from the Academy: 5/45.
They came from Good Drafting. Success from the late picks in the draft and great development...includes putting size and strength on them too, as well as being drilled to play the Sydney way before making a senior appearance.
After Jones retired and Gov and Oscar went down injured the talk around here and in the industry is we need more KPD depth, so we got Durdin mid year, and KPD development and we haven't got anyone.
Oscar and Durdin and KP depth players isn't over the top
McAsey as a developing 21yo KP player isn't over the top
Parks and Plowman are not KP but talls, and they wont be around for too long.
Akuei as a Cat B doesn't disrupt the numbers
Kemp is our only other tall we are developing, and he's no KP but he can play HB, Wing and Mid too
A McAsey type is ideal for now, whether its him or not.....
We can still Draft for speed, and Lachie Sholl (if we land him) has wheels.
Cuningham & Philp are our speed demons on our list.
We have picks ~ 12 and 30...plus a couple in the 60's. Nothing stopping us picking up 2 gems with speed with those 2 picks if we have our KP'd sorted.
