When Clarke signs I will be much more comfortable. At this point it feel like three years or trade.

Nothing at all, but drafting doesn't happen in retrospect. We have recently recruited Pearce, Taberner, Smith, Apeness, Moller, irish and Vandeluer, plus Gumby. It is a significant investment in tall talent.Based on what?
Besides what's wrong with Pearce + Lever going into the future?
No I'm talking about the Lever who plays for Adelaide.You get one pick in each round you can't getm all. We took tanner as well still could come good. Lever is more of a stopper where IMO Alex has a better all round game. Lever is also getting games due to injuries to senior players.
Smith will be lucky to survive delisting at season's end.Nothing at all, but drafting doesn't happen in retrospect. We have recently recruited Pearce, Taberner, Smith, Apeness, Moller, irish and Vandeluer, plus Gumby. It is a significant investment in tall talent.
Smith will be lucky to survive delisting at season's end.
Moller is improving but still a long way off AFL standard. Will have to be promoted to senior list at season's end or must be delisted - could go either way.
Hurley is improving but has only played 4 senior WAFL games.
Vandeleur is playing reserves at Peel and will surely get the boot at season's end.
Gumby was last sighted hawking his services as a personal fitness trainer in New York.
We are extremely lucky our KPD injuries have happened at this point of the season.
If they had occurred in August: No Johnson, Dawson, Silvagni for the rest of the season. McPharlin day to day (how do we manage his workload now?).
We didn't have Johnson and McPharlin for last year's finals, how did that go for us?
The problem last year was that the club refused to rest both of them, when they need to be managed. Someone like Pearce should have got games last year, even if he didn't deserve it just to have experience. We know now that Silvangi is the most injury prone and we needed to develop back up for that reason.
The big downside now is that Dawson is defs playing finals because he will get in the team by default and its hard to see him stuff to warrant a dropping.

Moller will be fine, he's the future, we have griff & sandi plus Clarke & big Jack
I haven't given up on Smith yet still only 21
Hurley is a freebie as was Moller last 2 years Martin Pyke just played his 100th game, took time to develop
You need patience you get one first round pick per year & Freo been successful of late so back end first round, you seem to think that because Lever played 4 games in his third year that all Freo drafting is poor which is not the case, I'm a glass half full man no onegets it always correct.
Jake Lever is in his first year (not 3rd) but I still agree with you nonetheless
More Dixon rumours.
Would be a good get. Would think Brisbane have a significant advantage given he is from QLD but maybe the premiership opportunities will help.
I do not see the downside of playing Dawson in finals

It's beyond dispute that our drafting of first picks has been poor. Our last six first rounders are Morabito, Pitt, Sheridan, Simpson, Apeness and Weller. Morabito has played more games than all of them put together and he's been injured for 4 years.
What I'm saying is that our strategy has also been poor. Players of the like of Lachie Neale and Michael Walters show that it's very possible to draft high quality mid/smalls with late picks. But you'd be hard pressed to find a single good key forward in the league who went below about pick 18 (Taylor Walker is the only one I can think of, and he was an academy pick). If you want to get one, you have to spend a high pick.
Well yeah sure we should only draft players who come with a guarantee they will be elite.Smith will be lucky to survive delisting at season's end.

That's kind of the point. All of our KPPS are "freebies" because we've been completely unwilling to spend a high pick on one with the exception of Apeness. And consquently all of them bar Pearce are struggling at WAFL level.

There was pretty strong talk at the time that we would have overlooked him for Apeness even if he was there at our pick.Pretty sure we were expected to take Cam McCarthy before GWS surprised everyone and swooped on him.

Really? I don't remember Apeness being in our picture much at all.There was pretty strong talk at the time that we would have overlooked him for Apeness even if he was there at our pick.
