Yes. Am surprised they kept him on the list. 23 years old so would really have to step up this year.
Reckon Gov is in for a ripper year, AA squad, bookmark it.

IMHO, three core components that will make us legitimate contenders this year are a creative small pressure forward, an intercepting rebounding defender and a dashing two-way wingman.
So, I’ll be keeping my fading eyesight on:
1) Motlop. Exciting if he can take a big leap forward, offer forward pressure & crumb at the feet of the talls.
2) McGovern. So critical to our structure and drive if he can stay fit and in form.
3) LOB. Add intensity and endurance to a deadly left peg and we’re cooking with gas.
Just feels wrong to leave out Dow ‘cause I had (have?) such high hopes for him. But more than anyone else on the list would love to see him firmly stake his claim.

You’ll take what I offer and like it.
I don’t think he was suggesting a trade, just that he’ll be good

From the Book of thylacine60 :
"Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out."

My two cents;
Think that provided he stays fit people are going to be very surprised just how good Zac Williams is. Just the ultimate line breaker when he is on.
Mitch McGovern similarly is crucial. When you have two gun forwards the quicker you can get the ball down there the better. Williams. McGovern and Saad fit that bill.
Very high hopes for Ollie Hollands. Think that he will be an excellent pick up as a winger/flanker before graduating to the midfield

Just too many options here so I’m gonna cheat and do a hopeful vs probable. Hopeful is players who I think reaching they’re potential will have the most benefit to our lineup and probable is who I’m most confident in reaching another level.
Hopeful-
Jack Martin- Has shown in glimpses he has the ability to be a top 3 medium/marking forward in the game. A huge hole in our current game is that player, and would push us right into top 4 consideration IMO
Mitch McGovern- Has similar traits in footskills and reading of the flight to Tom Stewart and if he could get some continuity and learn to read the play a little quicker, could be a huge offensive weapon out of the back half.
TDK- Still have no idea what this kid is gonna end up being, but if he somehow jumps up 3 or 4 layers to reach his potential as a creative ruckman who can do damage resting forward we’d be laughing.
Probables.
Jesse Motlop- was very impressed with how he finished his first year and by all reports has improved his endurance and also put on some size. Would love a Kozzy Pickett style second year from him and think he’s capable of 30+ if everything goes well.
Adam Cerra- his bookend games were proof of what he’s capable of and think another year of understanding teammates and game plan, and hopefully no niggling hammy issues will see him step up again this year. Needs to get those silky i50s he had at Freo going again.
Blake Acres- little left field, not so much his dramatic improvement but think he’ll thrive in our contested style and will have a big impact on filling one of the main holes we struggled with last year.

For me I think three most important roles are:
1) Voss - clear concise game plan with plenty of belief instilled in the playing group is essential. As is drilling of high standards.
2) Russell (and by extension the high performance department) - keep our best on the park for longer and in peak physical condition.
3) Dr Tara Kavanagh (the team psychologist) - Keep players strong psychologically. Also help prevent problematic off field behaviour. We want our players to be resilient and tough.
I think we have a list that is talented enough and deep enough go far into the finals. I think keeping the team both physically and mentally strong all pulling in the same direction are the intangibles we need to go in our favour.

You'd think Kemp or Marchbank are now shoe-ins for the interchange bench as a defensive rotation now....
