Do you want to trust the future of our forwardline to a pick 67 and a rookie who both haven't played a single game of AFL. (Has Butler even played VFL?)
We need to constantly be improving our team. Frankly speaking, we don't kick enough goals. Our solid defense has kept us in it this year but we are going to need to have a strong offensive game when our backline isn't holding up so well. We have the lowest points for in the top 8. Doesn't even need to be Thomas. We should be targetting goal kickers in the off-season.
I believe draft position is irrelevant once your in the system. The talent short showed in the VFL before getting his season ending injury was quite remarkable. Butler was the same prior to his injury, especially in the western bulldogs nab challenge game. Will be good to see him back in a couple of weeks.
Agree we should be looking for players that can improve our list in regards to forwards and all parts of the ground for that matter, may that be through trade opportunities. Or through the draft Like st kilda did with lonie. With players such as Daniel Rioli, Callum ah chee, Hisham Kerbatieh, Daniel Turner, Jade Gresham (could play more forward at AFL level), etc available. However in saying that, still can't neglect the players already on the list such as short, butler, Lennon, ect.
