Areas of Need for 2016 and beyond
« on: September 14, 2015, 11:26:17 AM »
Glaringly obvious..

1. Ruckman, need a ready made one. Maric as serviceable as he is, is 30 and probably done.
Gettable Options: Kruezar, Leunberger, Hickey/Longer. Don't see Hampson as a serious option.

2. Small Forward, deja vu. Need one desperately. Ideally ready made.
Gettable Options: Steve Johnson

3. 3rd Backman/Swing Man. Wasted a position in Bachelor and Griffths. Should have a swing man that can play a 3rd tall forward or 3rd tall backman depending on match ups.
Gettable Options: Lachie Henderson, Carlisle.

4. A Grade Mid/ Elite Mid, we rely on too few. Weve said for a long time our 2nd tier cant be relied upon in big games if our top tier go down. Grigg, Ellis and co are not Kelly/Ling like or Shiels/Burgoyne like. Need another reliable mid.
Gettable Options: Treloar, Bennell
Roughy: Would look at Armitage again. We were close last year in a trade.
Go Tigers!

the problem is those players wont change anything for us. we lack real leaders, players who will impose there will on the contest and change the course of a game. those players you mentioned cant do that for us.

i think id be looking closely at Carlisle on chapplins game yesterday and his season this year he is not getting any quicker and his mind is with the fairies at times may have what 1 year left I feel bring in carlisle to play a key role with rance I feel.
certainly need another onballer if reports are true and all goes to plan we have missed out on treloar but have a decent crack at aish and bennel.

Leaders and finals match winning players don't grow on trees and cost a fortune in trade.

Areas of need?
How about we stop creaming our pants over beating other clubs on membership, TV audiences and game attendances and concentrate on the most important thing of all, winning.

Ok no more bleating ..here are what I think are the positives from 2015.
Kamdyn Macintosh....is turning into a real gun.
the overdue arrival of tyrone vickery
good form from young recruits Lennon and C Ellis.(2 rising star nominations this year)
D grimes finally getting full seasons and showing how good he really is.
Titch Edwards really stepping up a level.
Kane lambert proving a very good get.
Anthony Miles now showing hes A grade(carried the midfield yesterday)
 a club that no longer panics  and appears on sure financial footing

McIntosh was one of the few players who delivered the ball into the forward line properly.

It's a by-product of winning.

A change in game plan wouldn't hurt.
