3. A bonafide marking Fwd Ruck for the chop out. O'Keefe is not the answer for next couple years.
4. An A grade half back that is fast, skilful and can cause damage from the backline.
I agree (otherwise its Wilson, Monohan or bust)5. A goal kicking mid/forward that is dangerous.
Haywood is that, if he plays forward Mr Voss. Moir can be the heir apparent, but see it in spades in Ison.6. A player with X factor that can tear other teams apart if left unchecked. Pickett/Rankine/Rayner type. This could be player 5 above.
7. A damaging wing, Carroll is looking the best prospect for us at the moment. Happy to see how he goes at the end of the year. If he kills it then we need a 190cm+ wing on the other side that marks the ball well and can hit a target.
Carroll is the one for me. A damaging wing can kick goals. An attacking mid. He's got a great left peg. He is progressing well. He's turns 21 this year. Does too much defending since returning from injury for mine, maybe because the other wing hasn't been bedded down, or we need to improve on our HB defender. I agree with you unless Ollie doesn't improve his disposal, and respect his limitations, its wing or bust.We have some holes, none that can't be fixed though.
But I can say with certainty that this current list will not win us a premiership, so we need to build on it.
Dean, Jagga, HOF, Walker are all steps in the right direction.
Our rebuild began last year, that is my mindset this year.
Now it is time to attract players by cementing our brand and banking a few wins (
not too many, we need the points :wink: ).
Thirty something year olds, Gov, Newman, Acres, Saad, Williams, Hewett, Haynes, Cripps, plus Pitto need to be replaced. At least 4 gone end of 26.
We will have plenty of holes. Tassie boy, Cowan, will be a Tassie target too. I think the prospect of moving is playing in his head, hence form slump.
But we do have ... bird in hand ...

Of the rest I do like Charleson, but he may not be on our list in 27. Not convinced with Chesser or Campos but depth may be theirs for the taking.
Not only do we have holes to fill, we also need depth. We need to improve on players like Lewis Young, Reidy, and Kemp and Pitto should be depth IMO
Haywood will need some midfield minutes to be that player running out of centre kicking goals, not convinced he's that player but happy to be wrong.
I agree Ison is the unknown and should be able to be that player, time will tell.
I just see that Bailey Macdonald for the Hawks is out of contract this year and can't get a game in their seniors.
He could be a good HB target, he's got some speed too.
