Thoughts..
Bottom 4-6 each week need to be upgraded.
Lambert, Gordon, Lloyd, Newman, Morris, Arnot, Petterd, Knights have all been rotated through and all a big liabilities. Today vs GWS - Newman, Lambert and Gordon were pretty uncompetitive for 4 qtrs.
No small or medium sized forwards
Lids is it. When he is taken out of the game like today in wet conditions, we have no trump card. Our 3 talls can carry our forward line in the dry but in wet conditions we need genuine crumbing forwards. All of Lambert Newman and Gordon were tried and did not much.
Loose man in defence upgrade
I'm not convinced with Chaplin. He's on big bucks to be 3rd man up. Give Jason cloke a ring who can go this on rookie wages. This means we don't have a quarter back type player. All the top top teams have elite players loose in backing. We have Troy.
Few other little things like more speed and maybe another key back man but those 3 main ones are our key areas of need to get into next category.
