We arent ready to be a serious threat for 2 more years why chase big names now .
Keep loading up on early picks and FA if they are stupid enough to come .

Folks please, channel your anger at our club
To be honest I’d rather stick up for the club. I know no one here so I couldn’t care less about them. If it wasn’t for the club we wouldn’t even be here. The club have made many mistakes but I see no point in being angry about it

Our list is Poo , we need to beg , steal , pillage trade for extra picks inside top 20 .
And sack Elshaug before he f@#ks us again .
We have 5 vacancies in our senior team .
One good draft and a quality FA away from being dangerous again.

I think they made Trout the list manager didn't they or gave him a title so hopefully that keeps him away from the draft a bit.We need speed badly, no more bland B Graders.

Don’t agree with that, bring in one or two really good players with some leadership qualities and we could be right up there.

Letting Trout go hammer and tongs at another trade and draft could be catastrophic.

One dimensional and uninspiring, just like Richo. SHOCKING COMBO. This list has the least flexibility and confidence of any team in the entire comp. The two are a rabble, enhancing one another's weaknesses. It's left us unable to compete and requiring a small miracle to still be in a game come the last Q, let alone win.

Absolute failure.

We need an innovative list revamp.

Need to roll the dice on a bloke that can identify modern midfielders and dangerous pressure forwards.

We also need to phase out senior blokes that can't mentally stand up. Filters down to the next gen, and has created a soft culture.

Whoever is the crows recruiter and development coach! They seem to always find the Right player and turn them into a gun.

^^ Gee I'm not sure I've ever agreed with Sam McClure but he's right. Luring these two (or Shiel) is perhaps a pipe dream at the moment but I want to hear the club is going hard to get someone through the door and not caring less what anyone thinks about it.

We are in despirate need of leaders and stars and at the moment it doesn't look like someone from within can fill the gap.

Hard to hope for too much from the draft when we don't have a 2nd round pick and very little trade bait.

I’m all for chasing stars, but we need to have a think about what they’d cost trade wise.

Shiel is contracted next year, so he’d cost an absolute mint IMO.

If we were a finals contender I’d be keen, but the idea scenario for me is to grab a couple of free agents that will automatically improve us and also buil through the draft.

It’s all easier said then done though, so if we have a superstar like Shiel keen to come then you’ve almost gotta pull the trigger. I highly doubt it after the start to the year we’ve had though.
