In many ways being in the contest in the last quarter all season on the way to pick one is an ideal season at this stage of the rebuild.

Who says? You? Big comment. Why do you say this?Another game of s**t leadership by Murphy
I wouldn't count Alex Silvagni out just yet. Provides the best ground level tackling pressure out of all our defenders, while still able to play tall.
Too little too late IMO.
Boekhorst showed a bit. He's miles ahead of Lose My Feet Sumner.
You'd be safe most weeks.If I was an opposition forward and the opening siren is about to blast, ASOS is the one that I would be praying doesn't walk up to me.
Dylan will definately be gone , poor skills and no composure and had more than enough timeHe's grown and shown improvements, both at AFL, as well as VFL level - where he's been consistently amongst the best.
If only he had a Legendary old man that played for the club. Staggers me that there are ppl (not saying you) ready to cull Blaine, then at the same time want Dylan to get another year!

Happy to trade Weitering for Kelly
Jones , McCredie, ploughman , Marchbank with back up ASOS is more than enough
Ignore the draft at our peril. Do the time and build depth. We need 2-3 midfielders added to list who can play inside grunt and have some skill - the polish comes with development and a team based game plan. I'll back Bolton over any individual player.
Nothing wrong with that path and maybe we're still a year or even two short of adding in the missing pieces, but I still think that can be done in conjunction with the draft. See last years trade using what will amount to a pick ~15 for Marchbank & Pickett.
Just remember that we've starved ourselves on the TPP front for two years now and we may have to spend the money we've put away for a rainy day.
If that is the case as I understand it to be, there is no reason we wouldn't trade out draft picks for players we know will be better than for what we can reel in via the draft.
Without all the numbers, it's just that little harder to know exactly which way we'll head.......but fair to surmise that we'll see several ready-to-go mids join the club this year and if it is against draft picks, then so be it.

We all live in hope but the facts are that the Club has less trade/draft currency to invest this year than previous - no second rounder for example. Will be interesting to see what develops ( as it always is) ...
Graham/Buckley/Smedts/Palmer/ Sheehan / Jacksh ...these are the players who SHOULD be genuine AFL quality and ready to go ..and sadly aren't for whatever reason(s) - we need Polson to develop and I hope Cuningham isn't leaving...very nervous about his lack of signing.
Liked the balance of our defense last night with 2 true KPD's plus Plowman.
With Marchbank, Macreadie and McKay on the sidelines, I don't see any way to move forward with all our young talls fitting in the team.
We're very fortunate all these players have shown what they have, the obvious move is to cash in on this currency to add talent where we lack it.
I don't think we'd trade JW, but I don't expect SOS to play favourites when it comes to improving the team. What would be preferred in the 22: JW and one of our fringe mids, or Macreadie and Kelly?
Yeah getting pretty worried about Cuningham...it's been very quiet about it to no one seems to know why he hasn't signed no rumour at all.
Can't see why he would leave though...2Nd year player and a midfielder who will get plenty of opportunities with us given our lack of depth. He's already best 22. Plus it seems we really rated him higher than most others...Iirc it surprised most that we took him at pick 23 or whatever it ended up being. Was seen as one from a bit left field.
Afl article says Balic is a certainty to leave Freo back to Victoria...hope we get him should come basically free.
At the end of the day as silly as those suggestions sound its just people frustrated with what weve all been through regarding our team . And just want to see us improve and be successful . We all have the best interests of the club at heart i would think .First there was talk of trading Murphy and now Weitering. This place is so funny some times.

If we can get a pick around 18 for Cas or even a PP around 18 and get Balic with said pick I'd say that would be a good outcome in isolation. If we can get him using 36 even better!
