I recall an interview with Mick Agresta toward the back end of the season and when asked what we were after in trade/draft period his answer was "Midfielders". Obviously we were chasing Cogs at the time but Mick's answer indicated that we were chasing a few. Surely there were some contingency plans after missing out on Cogs, wonder what they are.
IMO if we go into next season having acquired Betts, Martin & Papley then our forwardline and backs are just about set but need another A grade midfielder. Whether we address that missing piece of the puzzle this year or in the future is the question. If we don't add another ready-made midfielder that can play hard at the contest, then we would be desperate for at least one of Dow or Stocker to have a huge breakout year to help out Cripps and Ed Curnow.
