All the talk a few weeks ago was that he wanted to stay ?

Wonder what’s changed.
We've been played like a fiddle, he's wanted out for the last few years. Even before the trade request last year.

2nd of 3rd rounder for Amon ******* sucks but that is the best we will get.

So in reality that means we have about 5-10% chance of getting someone that will be of similar ability etc but even if that does happen we probably won't see that for another 2-3 years.

We also have a 70-80% chance of getting someone that won't play more than 20 or so games and will be a total dud right from the start.

If Boak and Robbie Gray do a Betts and fall of the cliff next year we could looking at being a bottom 4 side for the foreseeable future.

About time Davies, Cripps and Parker get the amount of attention our other leaders do too IMO.

What is going on down there? A week or so ago Amon was all but signed.

Anyone know the full story?

There seems to be a plethora of slow mids available so a speedster with outside run would be in great demand by many clubs. Arsene said he isn’t leaving but if he was I would expect us to get a good pick for him.

I can't see Frampton staying if Hinkley is still here, and he's absolutely won himself a spot on an AFL list elsewhere with his performances this year at SANFL level.

We just needed to give him a fair crack at it. It's incredibly frustrating and it's Butcher deja vu. We'll let him go then suddenly find we've got no KPF depth.

1- Sack Hinkley
2- Re-sign Frampton (2) and Amon (3), Bonner (2), Farrell (2), Westhoff (1)
3- Delist Broadbent, McKenzie, Hewett, Johnson, Sutcliffe, Trengove
4- Appoint New Coach
5- Trade out Ryder, S.Gray
6- Trade out players for Value (Wines, Jonas), SPP could also be included but would love to keep
7- Target young players in Trade Period that can help set up future (Lukosious, Hately, Fantasia, Francis, Parfitt, Hayward, Rankine)
8- Draft well (Swap for future pick if we don’t like the talent available)

8 and Paddy Dow? Would they do it as Dow was a high pick but hasn’t shown much. Other than that i’m not sure they have anyone they’d be willing to part with who we’d want.

Pace & skills must be added to the Midfield if we are going to improve.

That said, Trade Wines for the right deal - persist with Drew & Atley as the inside Mids.
If rumours are true about SPP’s habitual off field distractions, trade now.
Rockliff should not be starting 22 next season if we’re serious about winning premierships
Shift Houston into the middle on a FT basis, & start gradually increasing Rozee’s time on the ball

Forward Structure needs a complete overhaul

Build your forward line around Marshall & Frampton, both better kicks & lead up forwards then Dixon.
Cox & Farrell must both start are 1 next year.

As for down Back

Dougal has to be backed in to hold down a KPD - Ken really f***ed him over this year
Target another KPD in the draft

Players I really don’t care for who have lacked consistency & mental toughness for far too long

Hoff, Ryder, Hartlett, SGray, Motlop

Love Robbie, but can see a big drop off in output from here on in.

Our list management is starting to resemble Brisbane when Voss was there.

Over paying for middle aged players who arent performing and losing quality young players.

Spot on. We’ve had a Brisvegas feel about our list management for far too long.

So many failed high profile but poorly selected recruits:
1. Ryder - 1 A-grade season out of 5.
2. Dixon - 1 B+ grade season out of 4.
3. Polec - gone.
4. Rockliff - way past his best.
5. Motlop - mega spudding it
6. Watts - virtual non-entity

Now, some of these guys cost us nothing. Others cost us first round picks that now would have formed the 22-26yo nucleus of our list. None of these players have added positively to a winning, reliable, trustworthy playing culture. All had question marks over them when we targeted them.

Failed trading.
