It's hard to say all that we need. Every week we find a different way to get beaten. But I would start with a decent ruckman. We have a ridiculous number of ruck sized players and yet not a single one of them can actually play in the ruck. Crazy stuff 😜.
Another couple of good small forwards...
Yeah that Brisbane team in the grand final was just loaded with big 'stand and mark' forwards. All them big 199 cm gorilla forwards. No wonder Geelong couldn't cope.
Just don't see him winning contests. Gets a few hand out possessions. Winning contests is what it's all about even for 'outside' players.
He just doesn't appeal to me. I never saw a game in which he impressed me. I don't see wow moments. I'm a little staggered that everyone wants him.
I would prefer 2 of Taylor, Robey, Sharp & Cumming to pick 1.
Unless we give you maybe a package deal, say Merrett, Guelfi, Gerreyn for pick 1. That would be more like it.
#5: Sullivan Robey
#6: Xavier Taylor
Trade #7 to GC for #s 14 & 17.
#14: Jack Dalton
#17: Lachie Dovaston
#22: Taiwan AhMu
#25: Oskar Taylor
Steak knife picks (Hobbs etc): El Achkar & Sweid.
I wouldn't mind McKinnon either, actually.
People saying it's weak, but there's plenty I want.
