They need Baker and Graham because the lack leadership and will pay overs to get it imho
Correct
Actually not correct. If they need experience then we do to. Yet its okay for us to hit the draft but not them.
Where did we finish this year again. Where did they finish. Both clubs need a massive influx of quality YOUNG players.
McGovern, Yeo, Kelly, Barass, Sheed, Duggan, Hunt, Allen, Witherden, Cole, Ryan, Waterman off the top of my head. All with 100 plus games
They probably have more 100 game players than us.
Like us they need an influx of quality players in the right age bracket.
Put it this way Graham and Baker are at wce and they want to come to us would you trade for them given we are about to enter one of the deepest strongest drafts of all time.
By the time we rebuild neither will be there or at best way below their low ceiling best.
I tell ya what they do lack IF Barass is traded. Key defenders. Splitting their pick three if they manage it would be real clever and ideal given the draft.
Lets say for arguments sake they manage to get picks 8 and 14 somehow for pick 3. Potentially Trainor the best kpd in the draft and lets say the local boy is there in Allan.
they have 13 the Barass trade and they have pick 23. They can do what we are trying to do and thats bring in 4 quality kids that like us they are lacking.
One question just how soon do people here think they will be challenging again. Oh whats that i hear similar time frame to us.
Even if they trade Graham and Baker probably won't be there when they become genuine contenders again. Neither bring anything imo that they don't already have in their system.
We can afford to lose both because of the same reason.
Like us get the rebuild totally complete then target mature list deficiencies with decent picks.
I don't know why its so hard to apply the same principles to others that we apply to ourselves.
