We can solve the wing thing by plonking Jacko out there IMO and letting him run around like a big happy Labrador. That way he’s basically a midfielder, he gets to run around and not get killed in the ruck, and he gives us an outlet kick that the other wingman won’t be able to compete with.

Do we have enough speed, skills in our side to be well suited to the new rules?
What type of player should we target to fill this need?

Still feel like we need this more at half back. Clark’s kicking and decision making just isn’t at the level, it is solid but not elite.

It is why we brought McVee in, needs time but r1 his decision making wasn’t good enough.

Ryan has the foot skills but is often very deep and doesn’t run and carry.

Walker runs and carries, it is a watch on skill and decision making, r1 encouraging but historically he is hit and miss.

None of them at this stage would be the best ball mover at Geelong or Brisbane.

Simpson could be the answer, has the speed, mindset and foot skills, need more vision on decision making and probably just getting games into him.

Would be nice to get those skills on a wing too, most of our wingers might hit a simple 20m kick if they get a chance but otherwise it is a Hail Mary bomb, not even to advantage.

So even when we get inside and in space, not much tends to come from it unless they manage to get the ball inside the square and Reid or Young take over.

Need the speed through the midfield IMO. Lots of inside mids playing other roles because they're good enough players for AFL but the types we have which are different types of mids aren't really AFL level.

I'm happy with the young KPDs coming through but a genuine third tall that actually adds something offensively would also be an awesome addition.

We missed Frederick against the Cats, I don't think he drops those overhead marks like Dudley did. We missed him for speed.

Those overhead marks would have been on his chest so I bloody well hope he would mark them.

Dudley had 3.2 and looked really good. The problem was no one marking up mannagh, letting a spud like Shannon Neale kick 5 and letting Jeremy Cameron do what he wants. Defensive problems cost us the game Freddy doesn’t change the result Ryan and cox does
 
Just get someone who can hit a bloody target. Anyone. We need as many of them as we can get. So sick of being a sh!t kicking team.
Can start by dropping the guys that can’t hit a target like Judd McVee.
 
Worse than Bailey Banfield this guy.

Horrible take. First game in a new team.

I'd drop Switta for Murray or Scerri, Chapman for Ryan, Darcy for Cox and Omac for Davies or Draper. And my message to each of them would be, if you are going to play scared and not have the courage to give first option or back yourself in a one on one, then enjoy Peel because you might never return.

Switta's latest concussion might be the end of him.
Chapman hasnt played a convincing role for a very very long time. Almost embarassing.
Darcy was diabolical and ive been one of his biggest supporters. Im not against moving him on at seasons end. Strugled against a first gamer.
Omac blew his last chance.

Cant wait to see little Cox, Freddy and Simpson back in this side. Will balance us right up.

Nothing wrong with Switta. He took a while to get going last year and was very important, being injured cost us in a final. He’s like Young, you have to accept being underdone a bit for the future output.
 

Any free agents worth chasing?

Impey is 30, 31 next year. He would be good off on the wing.

Anyone worth looking at?

I know very unlikley, but Zac Bailey is exactly the player we need. I would be happy to through a lot of money his way.
