how about something like this.
Delist - Garthwaite, Parker, Naish, DE-S. Parkers skills leave too much to be desired and Garth is not good enough.
Trade - CC-J, Caddy. Well CC-J is gone and i see no need to keep a 29yo who we don't play and has no role.
Retire - Houli, Astbury. Gonski.
RF/A - Chol. Gonski.
Before trades and pick swaps it stands like this.
IN - Talia or Tarrant DF/A. 7, 15, 26, 28, 40, 44, Chol comp around 45, CC-J pick hopefully 20 could be 38 . Hopefully a pick for Caddy 50 plus as we help him to another club.
Draft needs are pretty clear imo.
Bigger mids who win ball and are good clearance players.
KPF - Theres only 33 yo JR and 29yo Lynch.
KPD - The reality Balta is the only proven big KPD that we have and what we do have in reserve look underwhelming or still a long way to go.
Medium HB - We have just one medium defender on the list in Vlastuin a bigger bodied replacement for Houli is ideal imo.
Dont claim to be up to speed on the ND but going by what i can get my hands on best available and needs these are about the mark.
7/ Ward, Erasmus. I like Neil Erasmus.
15/ Van Rooyen, Amiss. Both key forwards and both around the mark. I think Amiss will go a bit earlier.
20/ CC-J Compensation yep im hopeful we can get this pick. Chesser, Johnson both good sized mids. May be a stretch to get em.
26/ Bazzo 195cm kpd.
I think Erasmus, Van Rooyen, Chesser Bazzo would be ideal. Would also be looking at a Bloke like Schenslog a 200cm utility later in the draft if still there..
That would still leave Picks 26 28 40 44, Chol comp, Caddy pick..
How do we ensure we get pick 20 from NM. How about CC-J and pick 44 to Nm for 20 or C-J and a future pick.
How do we prise Wb first from them. How about 28, 40, Chol comp, would put us in the ball park.
Just a lot of wishful thinking i suppose.
A haul of 7, 15, 17, 20, 26,plus Caddy pick late. looks great on paper.
