lol at those who think chaplin will perform the same role he currently does at port. he will play kpd and most likely play on the bigger forwards. rance will likely play chb and dylan grimes will play third man up and provide a bit of rebound. another pre season into dea batchelor and morris and the backline starts to look decent.
would play conca at hb for another yr as well especially if dea does not continue to improve and stagnates.
a youngster like tanner smith would cater to the long term and tom lee along with a player like hartigan would give us genuine cover if injury hit any or all of rance chaplin and grimes. many moan about the lack of depth in key areas but dont wish to do a thing to fix the problem.
a scenario of chaplin lee and hartigan would be low cost and allow us to target mids with early to mid table nd picks.
will say again chaplin, rance, grimes, hartigan, lee, post and smith all genuine tall defenders is the way to go or something similar. that is depth.
riewoldt astbury griffiths elton vickery with lee as the swingman is the way we should be heading as far as tall forwards go. again that is depth. if we can add a mature kpf to these we shouls do it.
picks 10 30 and 48 on mids along with a mature recruit like moloney psd and the odd state league performer provides depth. thats 5 mids to go with genuine mids arnot, conca potentially, cotchin, deledio, ellis potentially, foley, grigg, helbig, martin, and tuck.thats 15 genuine mids all up and not a mention of a glass half full type player.
