Have spent some time off BigFooty and had time to think that perhaps our inside midfield stocks are not as poor as required. What we do lack is that run from defence (no, am not advocating a Jake Lever deal). If the reports that Connor McKenna wants to depart, we are very shallow in this area. The end goal is to have Andy McGrath move up the ground, Gleeson is only ok by foot and that is about all in the senior side at the moment (bar the man in question - Connor McKenna).
Not suggesting we move heaven and earth to get in another half back flanker with elite speed/skills but it is certainly an area of concern for me. With so much thinking time, the man to go after should be
D_P_S's man, Hunter Clark (Dandenong Stingrays). If he could come on sooner rather than later and be an AFL player by year 1 - 2, it would allow us more time to draft/develop guys to replace he when he should eventually move further up the ground.
Obviously we have other pressing needs but the more you look at the evidence, the more it makes sense for us to take Hunter Clark.
