We've brought in forwards.
We've brought in a defenders.
Unless he pulls off a miraculous surge in form, he's done.

DGB is one of the most unfit players on the list. He's currently out for half a season with an injury that directly affects his ability to do any running based training.
It will be a miracle if he plays a senior game and looks 100% fit this season in my opinion.
I'm unsure what happens next, but I wouldn't be shocked if he's in different colours or none next season.
Let me make one thing clear though. I desperately hope I'm wrong!

Has shared on Instagram tonight that he's bought a place to move into with his partner. Doesn't look like he has plans to head back to WA any time soon.
Correct. Just bought a house here. Staying put.

Good. Dude's still just 21. Toe injury was desperately cruel. Hopefully he shows something in the 2nd half of the season
Agree. If he comes good, with McCabe, Phillips and Blanck, then we're set.

Along with a decent KPD via free agency or trade and then we're set. We're due for some luck in this space!

Just like we were set for rucks at the end of 2022 with Reeves, Meek, Lynch and Ramsden.
We aren’t “set” for any period with KPDs. They’ve barely played any AFL footy to prove they’re actually capable.
Even the Nile runs through a desert
I’m being dramatic, like Perth just think it’s in a weird spot
Real estate seems to be the easiest gig for ex footy players to walk into. Even Jon Paton found employment in real estate
Dikipick Real Estate doing well from all reports

DGB going to be a landlord?

Appreciate that, but the OP could be read several different ways.
IF DBG comes good
1. either through the injury; or
2. by improving his output
THEN with McCabe, Phillips & Blanck
3. all coming good as opposed to
4. just being on the list as AFL players…..
THEN we’re set.
I simply did not read it the same way you did.
Upshot: I think we can all agree a lot has to go right with these 4 in order for the club to “be set” for the next 7-8 years

I'm just backing these players at their relatively young age and yhe club to get a good service out of Blanck/Phillips/Denver/McCabe in the near future. There's a bit to work with.Appreciate that, but the OP could be read several different ways.

As for a kpf and a third tall? That's the sticky point in the next couple of years we need to iron out.

Have any of those chaps show anything to suggest they will become the next May, Moore, Andrews, Sam Taylor...?
Not to say one may not, but the chance of Denver or Blanck gettign there on what we've seen is a stretch and who knows with the other two?

Hawthorn High Performance Manager Peter Burge said Grainger-Barras resumed running again this week, and if things remained on track, he would now be aiming for a Round 10 return to play.
"The last week he started running on the Alter-G treadmill... he's doing some form of running which is good, albeit not his 100 per cent full body weight," Burge explained.
"We're now going to make that next step to running outside on land, at 100 per cent body weight and that will happen towards the end of this week, so that's very positive news."

5 weeks away. That's good news. He'd be playing right now if not injured.
