Having a million injuries a year certainly isn't helping.

With a clean injury slate our list balance is fine IMO, just got too many injured or out of form.Does not Help but we had this Problem since 2012
doesnt help when our two crumbers are in horrific form (JT and Varcoe).
We need to recruit more indigenous talent, we really lack in that department an have for a while.

Which of our players taken last year are more talented than Stack?Send the memo to our recruiters to focus on race rather than talent for our picks...
Yeah but we hardly have the depth they do, they have top 10 DPs playing NEAFL.GWS had some of their best players out, it wasn't an excuse for them.

You do, personally I'd like to see more indigenous talent on the list, Hine rarely rolls the dice in that department though.Agree that has Defintally not helped us 1 bit but I still think I make a Point as well

Spot on dave and i know people will say that we have keane, Kelly etc. but they might not even make it, we need ready made KPP and a couple of genuine, fast small forwardsI have noticed a bit this Season we have Depth in some Postions like Medium Forwards but we don't have any Real KPF's at all as Hine has only picked Paine,Gault.McLarty in the National Draft and other 2 Moore and Kelly where Father Sons since 2010.
Also we have a Real Lack of Crumbers. Yes we had Abbott and Kirby and we did not have much luck with them. With Abbott going AWOL after 1 Season and then Kirby's Heart Issue.
Then look at our Midfield we have some Good Inside/Outside Mids but outside of Adams and Maybe Sier we don't have many other Inside/Clarence Players.
Hine has been good of finding players but there too similar to each other.
Thoughts?

Really!!! Who is the next key forward?With a clean injury slate our list balance is fine IMO, just got too many injured or out of form.
great post, nailed it, Hine too busy picking midfielders who are one paced, we could have picked up a KPD in the mid season draft but once again he couldn't help himself and picked another midfielderLack of KPP depth is the recurring issue for mine throughout 2018 -2019. An example of that is Keeffe. Could of kept him for next to nothing and he probably would have been happy playing VFL 90% of the time - but offloaded him.
Would've been great to have him out there today. Likewise Finlayson had we taken the punt on him when he was available.
I suggested names like Casbolt, L Jones and Rowe as cheap pickups at the end of last year and was laughed at. Rowe was picked up as depth for St Kilda, Jones has been solid and Casboult has performed at both ends of the ground in 2019...
Casboult would probably have gotten a game at times over Cox this year. Or covered down back so Roughead played ruck forward.
Our repeated lack of KPP depth just comes down to poor list management.
If you have solid KP depth who can play a role when required, that gives us license to be a bit more creative with guys like Moore and Howe.Lack of KPP depth is the recurring issue for mine throughout 2018 -2019.

Don’t think that is fair. Last year we drafted Stephenson who is fast, traded for Murray who’s a pacey half back. This year we drafted a pacey half back in Quaynor and young KPP in Kelly.great post, nailed it, Hine too busy picking midfielders who are one paced, we could have picked up a KPD in the mid season draft but once again he couldn't help himself and picked another midfielder

Hine answers to the list manager iirc, but at the end of the day Buckley calls the shots on 'types', I reckon that's how it plays out with prime picks anyway, they probably let Hine go best available on crappy picks.is it Hine picking the midfielder type players on draft day or is it the coaching staff requesting them?

The problem with our list is that at this time next year, the same players are likely to be suffering the same injuries, and the out of form players now may become the delisted or list clogging players of the future. But if you are happy to have half the squad missing post mid season, and are willing to overlook the chronics and the cloggers, by all means compliment the quality of the list.With a clean injury slate our list balance is fine IMO, just got too many injured or out of form.
