Such as?
I'd be much more aggressive at giving long term contracts to developing guns early on in their career. It didn't take long to realize Lever was a gun. I'd have signed him up to a 4-5 year deal after his first year, with performance clauses. Instead we gave him a 1-year extension. Teams like Sydney have given healthy extensions to players like Heeney and Mills before they can be tempted away by godfather offers. We should do the same.
Then I'd focus on the draft. We should be trading up (and only up) in the draft order to position ourselves such that if a gun SA youngster is available, we have the pick to acquire him. For example, if we believe Forgarty will be drafted around pick 7, we should attempt to trade up such that we have a pick in that range. If Fogarty is taken earlier, we still have a great pick to get an interstate player. If a player we rate 1 or 2 slides to 7, sure, grab them instead. But I'd prioritize our draft positioning around SA players within reason and trade up to get there.
