The ruck is the obvious area but following this I would suggest we need more quality midfielders. I think our forwardline is one of strongest areas now (though another small defensive crumber would be great) and our backline has promise but our midfield lack quality depth. Once you take out our from liners (Cotch, Martin and perhaps Foley), we drop away quickly in terms of class and talent.
I'm hoping Lids is repositioned into the midfield rotations which would automatically add quality depth to the midfield. I have high hopes for Conca and Helbig could add depth in time but I feel to be competitive with the best sides we need to inject more high end talent into the engine room. The only way I can see this happening is via the draft for a star midfielder would cost the club too much.
Anyway, just hope we can secure a 1st ruckman to feed the midfield this year but otherwise next year, when Free Trade arrives, will be our best opportunity to secure a 25 year old star ruckman and perhaps some midfield depth.
