Strategy North in 2022

[Shermanator]

Take emotion out of it and you would do it in a flash.

The key here is the ‘straight swap’ allows us to keep our first rounder which we could use on a gun KPP.

It would never happen but I the fiery number 10 anyways..

Thank * for the last 2 drafts otherwise Id be ******* depressed
McMahon and Finnigan have done well since Bryces got tossed

If we move forward we have something like this:

B: Williams (28), McKay (24), Vickers-Willis (26)
HB: McDonald (27), Crocker (21), Pittard (31)
C: Polec (29), Davies-Uniake (22), Scott (21)
HF: Ahern (25), Larkey (23), Simpkin (24)
F: Turner (26), Brown (29), Walker (23)

R: ??????, Cunnington (30), Anderson (28)

Int: Dumont (26), Atley (29), Zurhaar (23), Tyson (28), Taylor (22), Murphy (24), Thomas (22)

Throw in a good onballer type from this years draft: Anderson, Rowell, Serong, O'Neill (20), and Josh Kelly heading over in 2022.

I am not pessimistic about where we could be, as long as we can bring in a change of direction. It's a good age spread too.

However, we MUST identify a quality ruckman who will be firing at around that time, so it probably needs to be someone who is a minimum 22-23 to 27 years old now. This should be our next major target (outside Kelly).

I dunno.

They're completely different players. Do we "need" Kelly if Polec, Bailey and Hall come on for us?

Kelly will be top 5 player for next 5 to 7 years and he’s 4 years younger than Cunnington.
Still love Cunners

With the emergence of LDU this year if GWS said to us; straight swap Cunners for Kelly would you do it?

Nope. One bloke loves the club and is my favourite player. The other has absolutely no passion or desire to be here. He’s had his chance to come to us and declined so he can go and get ......ed. I have not looked at the Josh Kelly thread for over 12 months and have no interest in doing so.

Would you swap Urquhart for Pendlebury?
