But we have KPP's everywhere... it's legitimately our midfield issues now. Happy to do that Trelor deal of this years 1st and next years 1st for Kelly & a 2nd.
I think you'd be crazy to say no to that.
I am nervous our FF stocks are running on empty.
Not sure Stewart can play #1 target. Daniher is too valuable as a CHF.
Hooker is 29 (?). Gives us 2-3 years to find and develop his replacement and they are currently not on the list.
Tom Lynch should be one of our top targets.
Our midfield issues stem from the age gap between Heppell & Merrett. In that group, if one or two of Jerrett, Kav, NOB, Ashby or Browne had come on we'd be ok.
But they didn't, so we're waiting on 20 year olds and under in Laverde, Langford, Mutch, Clarke and Begley to rapidly develop into AFL ready mids.
midfield depth is there, as i see all 5 of those as solid prospects to step up and take over from Watson, Myers and Goddard over the years.
Unfortunately we can't freeze time on guys like Zaka and Heppell, who would be primed for a premiership window if those guys were 2 years older and further down the development track.
That 2010-2012 draft period has hurt more than 2013 and 2014 did in the long run.
In that time, Heppell, Daniher, Bags and Gleeson have gone on to become a player
2 rookies (Jenkins and Hibberd) are playing elsewhere
