Its a precarious position we are in if one of the only 2 KPD's we have goes down.

Plowman and Marchbank are more 3rd tall and marchy an intercept mark.

The back 6 are good. I think all of them, like other teams have made mistakes, but generally good.

Its the midfield/wings that need to be stronger at defense imo, after all, its their opponents that deliver the ball to their forwards.

Yep, especially with Marchbank out. Fingers crossed we don’t lose Weitering.

I remember having eyes rolled my way when I suggested that getting rid of our entire KPD depth (BSOS, Macreadie, Goddard) in one hit was poor list management, without replacing them (with McDonald) or Kreuzer (with Mirkov) until much later on.

If nothing else, is it any wonder our 2's fail to show any semblance of structure without defenders or a ruckman?

Are you surprised
Hugh Goddard terrible pick up
MacCreadie not hard enough
BOS doubt he will ever make it
Zac Strom is one guy I would recruit
From South Freo
Of course Carlton rarely go about things that way and pick hacks from other AFL clubs

The bookends are fine (though we need a Jones replacement in the short term). The midfield and wings are where we truly lack.

Jones 199cm
Weitering 196cm


McDonald 196cm
Silvagni 194cm
Marchbank 193cm
Kemp 193cm
Plowman 193cm
Parks 192cm
McGovern 191cm

Given todays debacle we need to see Kemp Carroll Honey in a few games
Charlie back for a few games
Games into stocker Dow TDK Owies Setterfield

Fatten for market SPS and Kennedy

Sign up Cripps H and Walsh
No more Levi or Murph

Why did Austin give Dodoro Pick 8 for Saad?
Not saying he isn't worth it, but we didn't have to.
Mr nice guy Austin reflects the nice guys we have on our list.
He wanted to be Mr Nice guys. Nice guys don't win AFL flags.
Dodoro is just laughing at Austin's mascara. The sitting duck blinked.

i never wanted Saad i wanted nick cox / another dumb easy trade from our recruiting team

Saad is the least of our problems. He's shown a few of our blokes how to play with injury without sooking it up. Personally, I think he's shown far more resilience, footy IQ and leadership than most of our blokes.
