Start playing better kicks like McDonough & Lennon for a start. Not that I rate the former all that highly but he can at least hit a target and has to better than Turnover Hunt.

We still need to improve our list but if the past 3 games proves anything it's more about what's going on above the shoulders at Punt Rd. Switched on, we can blow good sides away while strangling them (vs Freo & second half vs Swans); switched off and we play like a bottom 4 side - slow, skill-less and lazy (vs Eagles & first half vs Swans).

A quality ruckman, smart silky small forward(s), another ballwinning mid & another key defender would be on the shopping list as far as players to bring in. Our depth is tested when we don't have our best players playing together.

Get Carlisle,
Get Hannebery or Parker
Trade for a Motlop, or Leuenberger

Key KPP, mid, small forward and ruck and we add some quality.

Parker for our midfield
Motlop as a small forward
Lycett from West Coast my Preferred.
A Key defender to take Chaplin Spot. Carlisle would be great but WADA appeal places a big doubt.

We have 3x first round picks out of the side, if Lennon, conca and Ellis, on talent alone they would add a fair bit, hopefully they all go on to become players but fair to say there are some ???

I still worry about the hardwick

"Our good players will have to play better "

They are almost all playimg at maximum capacity

And Sydney will missed four set shots in the last quarter that would of shifted momentum.

You cannot expect the guns to pull out superhuman efforts every week.

Over the course of the year, and finals. They will need more help

It's not the bottom 3 players, it's mental. They can be on, then off in games we should win, then off for a quarter, then blast out an 8 goal quarter from nowhere.

The Swans have a worse bottom 6 than us. Shaw, Tippett, Reid, Richards, Grundy, Rampe, Dericxkz, Lloyd, Cunningham....

We could have also had Lycett IIRC. There was some sort of movement during the trade period and we gave up the chance to get him.
