How would we get to Top 4 in 2024?
« on: August 01, 2023, 09:11:53 AM »
Right now, we look 3-5 goals off top 4 ….. or bottom 4 depending on how you would like to view it.

Based on either, what needs to be true for either to happen?

To get up the ladder I think we need:-
1) To farewell 3 champions of the game
2) Find young energy to turn the ball over more frequently - particularly through our mids
3) Recruit or develop mids who can link more effectively by hand on transition

Having Lynch for a season would also help…
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Get fitter earlier, we dont seem to be running out games early in the season.

Sticking tackles like we did in 2017-2020

Draft won't save us unless the 2021 cohort all come good in a hurry.

We won't be top 4 for at least 3-5 years.

I don't see us improving much in 2024 unless we develop two useful key forwards and two useful small forwards.

When a sizeable chunk of the post 30 years of age group has retired
