I would be getting Harry's bro to play FB. Young showed the other night he is simply not a strong enough player to be a true KPD. Get Ben McKay via FA. Keep our first round pick.

Then we need speed around the ball and a quality mid size HFF.

Cuningham and Martin would fix those two problems but we simply cannot rely on these guys. They are terribly injury prone.

Use our first round pick to snare another quality running mid like Hollands last year, and then trade our second rounder for a quality HFF. We might need to add a sweetener to make the trade fair.

Of course is there anyone out there on the market and do they want to come to us?

I will put my hand up and say I don't know whether we should fight to keep TDK. My main concern with him is he isn't a good kick. I think he is overrated in so far as potential to be a forward of note. He has played 46 games and has kicked multiple goals in a game just once and that was a big tally of 2 goals. I know he is competing against the twin towers but seriously his kicking leaves a lot to be desired. I would assume if we were to let him go we would get a first rounder back. So that could be one way of getting a player we need.

So...

Ben McKay - FA
Quality, running mid - 1st Rounder
Quality HFF - TDK trade for 1st rounder

I'd love to snag Nick Watson.

He'll go top 5 so can't see how but he's that mercurial HF/FP we need.

Guys his size don't normally go top 10. Not even Pickett or Daniel. He may well make it to our pick. But do we want another forward midget?

Watch him play. He's a smart, smart footballer and can do the incredible.

I hear you on size, but I'd take the chance if he were there.

We’re a very fair chance to have a pick inside 10.

Are there any FS/academy kids that might chew up early picks?

Perhaps we need a new thread - coaching panel 2024

Lists always need development as does ours, we are lacking in areas. However, in the scheme of the competition our list isn’t that bad.

Our issue is more between the ears and system. As we are seeing around the competition this is the main differentiator between the good, average and bad teams.

I'm hearing you london. You've been on this path for a long time, and now the media are looking at the coaching group for answers.

Sad if its true we need to revamp the coaching group.

As for turnovers, is it the coaches game plan/ tactics or the players.

I blame the players for the obvious clangers, but I'm hearing you, the coaches have a role too.

I can’t believe that we don’t have the equal or better list than saints, bulldogs or even pies for that matter.

Ben Mckay is too injury prone. Surely we've learnt our lessons there

Guys seriously, our list as good as the Pies?

The team made a grand final only a few years ago and their list runs very, very deep despite losing a few in their fire sale a few years back (Treloar and Stevenson), then Grundy last year... (offset by the fact they slotted in a Brownlow medallist into their midfield).

They have real leaders on every line: forward, middle and back.

Even the Bulldogs have a bunch of players who've seen finals and a flag.

Compare us to the Saints, maybe.
