Wouldn't improving our starting midfield improve our midfield depth (and make us a much better team) by pushing some of our current starters out of the team?
I'm not against improving the starting midfield. But that will cost us. And I can't think of many likely candidates at this stage.

In light of that, I'd still be willing to add the right kind of depth from the bargain basement.

Blair has been talked about and linked to us as a free agent , not sure he is a midfielder but has some consistent qualities and pace and is a freebee

If he goes anywhere it will be Gold Coast.

With Duggan and Partington pushing for game time next year one of those HFF positions needs to be opened up. Redden and Jetta get in a good preseason and we retain Tunbridge and he stays fit there is a big surplus of players gunning for Mastens spot.
Masten may be named some times on HFF but he
picks up most of his possies at HBF and wing . Along with gaff our best 2 way runner always getting back and helping our rebound from defence .
At his best he can help us be a top team and is worth more to us than a 20s pick in the draft who may end up crap .
Both dug and parto have a long way to go to fill masto shoes

Darling and Lycett were both picked up in the 20s

It's both.

At least Priddis, Gaff and Shuey more or less do a job.

Can't say the same for the tier after that.
Next tier - Sheed, Hutchings, Yeo, Masten, Jetta & Redden

Hard to argue - bar Sheed who for mine, has given us an another option in the clinches. Yeo by far the most disappointing of the lot, Jetta close 2nd. Redden has also been woeful, I'll give him a full preseason to get back to his bullocking best that I saw glimpses of when at Brisbane.

He's got an interesting mix of dash, power and toughness.

I've seen next to nothing of him this year but it's a concern that he hasn't been able to get more game time for port this year
Sure. That's why he'd be cheap.

We can't just keep trading out first-rounders for the likes of Redden. We have to try to get guys for unders and maybe we win a few.

Both Ah Chee and Blair would be good targets. One has outside power and speed, the other goal sense and applies good pressure.

Blair reminds me of Puopolo. Good ground level players who can tackle and mark is something WC could get more of.

Exactly. Sheed has been injured but will be good. The rest are questionable. Duggan not ready. Redden MIA completely.

No one is saying he's a top-liner.
No, I know, but like I said if he's going to cost us pick 30ish then I'd rather use that pick in the draft on someone who has the potential to be better than Ah Chee. Obviously no gaurantees but as I said before with Ah Chee you know what you're getting and it's probably not someone who's going to be running through our first choice midfield in 3 years time, pick 30 or whatever could be.
