The subject was on topping up. We have not done that.
Gunston was brought back for leadership and relief for Lewis/Chol.
The others mentioned above would not get a game for us and would have harmed development in the midfield.
Because Mitchell, Shiels and O'Meara were leading the worst midfield in the league? Taking game time away from Day, Newk and Nash.
Gunston was brought back for leadership for the young players in box hill. Without Lewis he has been forced to play.
Smith decided to leave, we were desperate to...
When did I say Chol was a leader? He was an urgent list need. Gunston was brought back for leadership.
Chol, McCleane and McKay were targeted due to structural gaps in our spine.
So how have we topped up then?
Who have we topped up with?
Gunston was brought back for leadership, he won't play more than 15 games this year. Chol was our last option after missing out on McKay and McClean. We needed support for Lewis. It was critical.
If you want to watch young sides without any form of leaders go watch...
Realistically we should have rebuilt after 2016. Targeted the 16, 17, 18, 19 drafts. 2018 in particular.
We just need better ball use and key position players. We beat you in inside 50s and in the contest yesterday. Just need more polish and options inside 50.
Need to get another key forward. I'm a believer in Lewis, but he's never played more than 15 in a season. We aren't contending if we don't have another target.
In the mean time, we need another dynamic mid and a defensive type mid like a Dunkley. Bailey Smith and Josh Smillie would effectively...
Getting in Baz, Melican and Battle would be a good start. Make an offer for Florent too. He's levels above Morrison and consistently available.
Draft Smillie or FOS.
The young core of Day, Watto, Newk, Weddle, Frenchie, Lewis, Moore need to push us forward.
I'd offer two firsts. You just know he's going to turn into a superstar. He's not immediately announcing himself like Reid or JHF, but his pace, kicking and power is special.
We are dying for a player like him. Baz will get done, but still think he pales in comparison to the sheer power of Finn.
Really struggles with consistency. Very poor defensively, sides know this and expose him.
Everyone knows how good he could be if he puts it together. A better environment will only help.
I don't understand why Sheezel signed to 2030. Genuinely not sure how him, Wardlaw, Duursma and McKercher survive this.
Apart from Larkey, who are their senior leaders? Zurhaar and LDU have one foot out the door already.
No but the constant potting, saying we haven't even started to rebuild yet and continual trolling when we would be a few points in games is laughable.
We should have won yesterday by over 60. That's without Day, Lewis and Bruest. Two of our most important players.
Perspective is important...
They'll turn things around. Slowly.
Wardlaw, Sheezel, McKercher, Duursma can all be game changers. Absolute elite players.
They need to improve their defense. Lots of deadwood in that area. Larkey needs help too.
