Could not agree more,

If Darcy Moore goes down we have Frampton, Dean and Cochrane who doesn't scream full back to me.

If Naicos goes down we have options but really it is getting thin when it comes to talented youngsters. IMO I think Allan, Long, and DeMattia don't fill me with great confidence, happy to be wrong.
If you look at hawthorn's midfield a few years ago, you would probably say the same thing. I reckon the 3 players you mentioned have to find good form and probably this year. I'm also hoping they can come from nowhere like hawthorn. Ultimately though, we need to add a quality midfielder
 
Big NO to JUH

Rowell or LDU should be the target.

I think it's LDU as we won't need to trade for him.

Fair fair fair.

Although it's unlikely DC goes to WC we should ask for Jobe Shanahan, I really liked him in his draft year and can play either end. Could have sworn he didn't look stoked to be going to the eagles in an interview/video.

Is Leppa our list manager now?

Who is/are our draft talent scouts - Derek Hine's role?
Shane O'Bree is our National Recruiting Manager.

Leppa is our General Manager of List and Talent Strategy.

O’Bree will report to Leppa and will play a key role in identifying and securing the best available talent nationally and internationally.

Big YES to JUH,

The kid is 22, number one pick and more disposable income then a kid his age needs. The list is endless of AFL players going off the rails, maturing late and getting their life together. How many boards would have said big NO to JDG who I would consider matured real late.

We don't even know what the problem is with JUH. You're right, you don't give up on a 22yo potential star. At the right price he has to be considered.
 
My biggest priorities are a midfielder and a key defender, however, if you can get someone like JUH at a reasonable price, it would be remiss not to consider it
Yeah, I think that’s what the club will do
Plonk McStay at FF for the next 4-5 years and see what evolves
 
I do like West also. Key defender is a much more pressing need
We really need a Moore replacement, he is 29 and if he goes down we are stuffed. SDK is the obvious candidate but with our draft capital and the fact most teams are after him it might be real difficult + it seems like we are looking to trade even more out for a mid I have no idea what Collingwood have planned for a Moore replacement.

The club might be hoping Jakob Ryan figures it out before season's end.
 
Don't think Ryan is a key defender option at 189cm.
I think it would be great if Ryan took the medium defender spot at the end of this year. I know they are kind of different players but Murphy took a little while to find his spot.

Would love if Ryan or Jiath found a spot a little further up the field if we get hit with injuries.
 
I reckon Ed Richards might be a more realistic target.
If we got JUH and Richards in the one offseason, dogs fans would hate us forever.

I'd love to know who our inner sanctum has targeted in their meetings when planning for 2026 and beyond. It would make for juicy reading.

Agree
And also how they assess them in terms of cost / method of acquisition
Do they get selective early or construct a “big board”?
 
JUH is a no brainer if we got him cheap. But on top of that youth in general or our current youth really need to step up.

They need to get Games 1st

Allan has but hopefully more come in during the Season
