Agree on the defender, I'm hoping we get something in the upcoming drafts, it always hard to know if your on track but at least this isn't like the other times since the 80's when we have looked promising as they have all seemed to have revolved around one player who always ended up injured setting us back to square one.
You can never know if your keeping up with other team, after all look at Port we were well ahead and they leap frogged us but then they may just as easily slip back again, the main thing is the inner club is well run with funding we have never had before.
I believe this will give us the opportunity to stay in the upper rungs of the ladder and hopefully if things fall into place we can take that giant step to a flag one day, but really there are no guarantees for any club, but if you build the foundations right as the Hawks have done you give yourself the best chance to succeed, we still have a way to go but I feel we are on the right path, I think employing the leadership guy that Geelong had was a great move and something we really need, good leaders know how to get the team across the line and they teach the youngsters to be great leaders as well.
