Autopsy Round 5, 2024: GWS v St.Kilda

[stavro#4]

There are 17 other sides with elite players on the list so I guess that's an excuse we can wheel out every week.

We've given plenty of players the arse with little to nothing in return.

Let's hope Collard is a jet because we've flushed the rest of the players we've taken early and flogged off.

From last nights side, we have had 8 players that have joined via a draft since 2021 - there are a further 2 who have debuted but didn’t play.

Thats also excluding Bonner and Hayes.

Only: Shoenmaker Van Es Horton Keeler and Oscar Adams have not played a game after being drafted in that period.

(Not including speculative Cat B zone signings or international picks)

We don't need Powell - Windy is a better version and Garcia seems like he could be a faster version. Our midfield core of Phillipou, Owens, Windhager, Dow, Clark, Byrnes, Wilson needs to be complemented by genuine A-graders, rather than sub-elite players who won't make us that much better.

In saying that, 2 years is a long time in football so we'll see what happens.

Powell is the highest rated player under 23 in the league this year.
