We should not consider trading pick 1 unless it involves Bennell or O'Meara.

The way things are looking we will have the opportunity to pick one of the top 5 midfielders available with our first pick. Conca and Yarran can come in somehow but our first rounder should not be used.
Fine point well made.

Our defense is the only ******* good thing about our side. The rest of the ground is just a write off (bar Kennedy and Darling).

We get ran over in the 4th quarter because our defense is running back and forth covering no pressure in the midfield, for the whole game.

Brown is fine, I mean what other tradeable defenders are there in the AFL that are better than him?

You cant blame the defence when it's heading down there every bounce. Our midfield is the worst in the comp and the only way around it is to start the rebuild. Even at full strength we are miles behind in talent compared to the best in the league.

Only got 20 minutes. Hard to tell. He needs a full game.
Yeah but we've got Sydney next week, reckon the MC's going to roll the dice with him and pick for that game? Or, do they send him back to WAFL and pick him for the game against the Bulldogs the week after?

Happy that Cripps seemed to show a bit - I know he's got some haters out there :p

He can't get on the park for a sufficient period to use his talent. It's tough for the bloke but we need to jam our list with midfield prospects and hope we can find a couple of diamonds in the rough asap.

The other good thing about jamming our list with midfield talent is there's also the off-chance the one's who aren't successful as midfielders may have utility value in other positions. LeCras was an U/18's midfielder before we drafted him but I wouldn't play him anywhere other than in the forward line.
