I don't understand Sydney being so desperate for KPP's.
Schauble and Goodes for the big blokes, Bolton, Barry and Saddington for the mediums.
Hall at CHF, O'Laughlin at FF, O'Keefe as the third tall.
Roberts-Thompson in the pipe-line.
None of these guys are that old.
I would have thought finding replacements for Williams and Maxfield would be a priority.
Sydney already has replacement for Williams and Maxfield in the pipeline - Schmidt and Willoughby from last year's draft, plus other youngsters who've already debuted but should be capable of greater contributions as they get older - eg Bevan, Buchanan, McVeigh, Ablett, Sundqvist.
Other than LRT and Mark Powell and at a pinch Dempster (I see him more as a tall flanker), Sydney has nothing approaching a KPP in the development phase, and even with these two there are still questions marks.
We desparately need an influx of tall kids with the hope that two or so will be ready to play major roles in 3 or 4 years time when Hall, Schauble, O'Loughlin are thinking about hanging up the boots. We may not get them all this year but should be looking to snare a couple at least.
