I checked Collingwood thread. Still some many fans believe they get pick 5 from SUNS plus Wright/pick 23 with something like pick 35 back. The trade period will be fun.
some people are crazy, even I get lost on that thread sometimes. It goes too fast. Its called the silly season for a reason hahaha.

Happy to welcome new players that want to be here and will defend them to the hilt.

But for a team to finish 15th to only get in Markov and Atkins, with all due respect, doesn't seem like it's enough. I know we're in a unique position with the youth of our list but we seem to be relying a lot on internal development. I know that will happen to some degree, but how much is always uncertain.

Must admit I was a bit flat when Cameron essentially said that was it.

Do think we need to time our run a bit.
Still a couple of years away from some of the young players reaching genuine A grade (maybe other than Rowell who is a freak).
At the moment it is OK if there are just flashes of high end from the 21 and unders, but to push into finals in a meaningful way we would need a few of them to be consistent enough to be in the AA squad of 40 and close to AA level. If we can get 3 or 4 into the AA squad in a few years we would be in the hunt.

I like the 26 and under mention, since that player would still be in their peak in 3 or 4 years when we would hope to be a top 4 contender.
That is another one of the problems with Treloar, in 4 years would expect him to be cooked and not in the best 22.

In 2 years time we could bring in an A grader of any age and it would be fine (like Higgins and Smith to the Cats). In NBA parlance, a 'ring-chaser' who wants to play finals. They can be 30 and only have a year or 2 left and it would be good.

The dashing half-back will accept a two-year deal at the Suns and is expected to be one of the first trades completed when the window opens on Wednesday.
