I don’t see our midfield as a big concern. Rozee, JHF, Butters, Drew is a bloody solid core, with Wines and now even Mead providing good support.

Wing obviously needs some work, but I’ve still got hopes for Sinn and I’m still very confident we get Lukosious to fill that spot.

Small forward is the glaring deficiency to me. Our only small with real goal sense is Rioli, and he’s 28. SPP and DBJ can play a role and do it reasonably well, but even with Rioli playing we are still one dangerous crumbing small away from being a top scoring threat.

The Evans experiment is over and McEntee isn’t fit to tie Sam Gray’s boots as a small forward which is a pretty bloody low bar itself. I know we have Anasta and Charleston but they are massive unknown quantities.
 
Still think we need one more mid and a winger.

Mid - not sold on mead
Winger - boak.coming to the end and both Burgoyne and Bergman haven't set the world on fire.

Sinn is an interesting one. Needs to come on in a hell of a hurry and there's a spot for him now.

Agree we do need to find our wingers for afl level but we are going to bring in Rome Burgoyne in the draft, to add to sinn, Bergman, jase Burgoyne and will lorenz.

Our afl midfield is obviously not a concern, it’s amazing.

But we still want some developing depth behind them in case of injuries / someone asks for a trade etc.

At the moment we’re fielding 3 top ups in the middle for our sanfl games.

Luko is contracted until 2026, would cost us a mint and should be playing chf not on the wing if he came here.

Small forward is interesting. Dbj has come on in that spot , and spp is good up there as well. But not the traditional small forwards, tho there’s fewer and fewer of those.

But we just drafted 2 in last years draft, and there’s every chance we get Barrett as an nga. Yes the two we brought in are unknowns but we’re not likely to double down when there’s limited list spots.

GC want to spend big to get an established player over and they would happily trade out Lukos sizeable contract to do so, guarantee it.

Would be interested in Caleb Daniel who would likely come cheap now to fill Mcentees role.

He’s a ball magnet and has played forward. He’s not going to be a 30 goal a year forward but he would be a good link up across half forward and has a very solid kick on him.

Out of favour at the dogs and been subbed a couple times. Wonder if he’s interested in a return home.
 
Pay up for Lukosious to play wing (we don’t use the wings), something something McEntee. Get Caleb Daniel in and see how he goes forward. That’s the list management sorted.

That makes zero sense from gcs pov.

Want to get an established player so willing to let go of an established player?

What established player are they getting that’s better than luko

Lachie Hosie possibly gets a game with us on current sanfl form.

If he's still going ok midseason perhaps decent insurance should we find ourselves short a small forward at the end of the year?
 
Without any inside knowledge at all I think Luko will be a Port Adelaide player at some point.

Logistically it makes sense for all parties and there has been noise for some time.

Besides he will end up at the crows

The last thing we need is a bloke on big coin who will let you down continually and is afraid of contact..

Slow, small, soft, no real goal sense, questionable work rate. The only box he ticks off as a small forward is that he is (very) small.

Not a heap of worse players available for that position.
 
1. Scully and Lord both developing, with Visintini and two young Key Forwards in Marshall and Georgiadies.
2. ‘Winger’ Burgmann, Burgoyne, Sinn, Lorenz…
3. Just drafted Tommy A and Charleson, although Charleson looks to be plying his trade more on ball.
4. Drew, Mead, Jackson, Charleson.
5. ‘Elite’ ruckman grow on trees…

Priority should be Jack Lukocious, Kozzie Pickett, NWM, Matteas Phillipou, Harry Barnett, Harry Lemmy, Aishton Moir, but all for the ‘right price’.

Other than brining those lads back at a good price, just need to find quick blokes who don’t shirk a contest and work both ways, running all day. We have plenty of top end talent, unsure if we have enough Heart and Soul types.
The problem is convincing established players to relocate and live in Adelaide where both SA teams tend to focus on ex-pats.
Where you are crazy if you go chips all in each year.

Something from left field, I reckon Isaac Cummings is gettable where GWS have salary cap issues (at the end of this year) and being from Broken Hill, he would have local knowledge and appreciate the virtues of living in SA.

It’s a foregone conclusion to them that Luko goes by free agency, so might as well get pre-agency compo and salary cap space back

Isn't Luko Connor Rozee's best mate?
