...key defenders didn't debut as teenagers, some of them weren't even on lists until they were over 21:
Callum Wilkie, Sam Collins, Harry Taylor, Jeremy McGovern, Aliir Aliir, LeekAleer, Jack Payne, Brandon Zerk-Thatcher, Dane Rampe, Nathan Broad.
But all good KPD's debut when they're teenagers.
...players who are out of contract at the end of 2025 include Andrew Brayshaw, Finn Callaghan, Tom De Koning, Sam De Koning, Mac Andrew, LeekAleer, James Worpel, Judd McVee, Noah Balta, Chad Warner, Oscar Allen, Jake Waterman, Marcus Bontempelli and Ed Richards.
Obviously the cost (salary and...
...defenders accountable. Bombing the ball on the head of Jeremy Cameron and Ollie Henry won’t win many games, and we have made Rory Lobb and LeekAleer look like superstars with this strategy.
On paper leaving SDK to ruck was always a two fold risk - one that he might be smashed by the...

Clear holes:
Quality second KPD (Butts/Keane? Ballard? Petty? LeekAleer?)
young ruck (who knows who this could be)
an elite young midfield prospect (anyone at the top of this year’s draft, probably Draper if we’re...
Another dominant midfield forward that is a freak athlete would be ideal, leekaleer style backman second.
The growth of hustwaite may be enough here and return of Blanck may solve this but I wouldn’t be waiting now, key pieces required for the core team to grow together
Those names you’ve elaborated on are great but I doubt we have the salary cap or the trade capital to get any of them.
Caleb Graham is probably a more realistic option given he has barely played the last 2 seasons at Gold Coast.
Couldn’t agree more. You would be paying unders as they are yet to really prove themselves, but at the same time have had 2+ years of development which is when KPF/D really establish themselves.
