Am i wrong here we have 38 players listed with Hopper and Taranto and retirements and delistings.
Arent list sizes usually around 44? So how in hell are we only going to use two nd picks and thats it.
Reckon people are missing a trick here especially when it comes to mids.
Yes we have a good amount of mids for seniors, but FMD the second team is really wanting for them.
Key forwards are in the same boat it is laughable.
If 44 players on teams lists is the average then id be scouring the whole country for at least two mids to replace RC-D and Martyn, FFS WE HAVE SO FEW KEY FWDS LETS GET A KID AND LETS SCOUR THE FREAKIN STATE LEAGUES FOR THE OTHER.
That alone would take us to 42 players. Still leaving openings for two others.
Heres a look at what i think we need to do in the reserves.
b: Mansell - State League player - ####
HB:Brown - Nyuon - Short. No Guarantees with Nyuon hence the even greater need to get a tall defender into the system. YES SHORT.
C: Banks - Baker - Ralphsmith. Yeah people will raise their arms at Baker playing two's.
R: Soldo - Ross - Graham . Geez all three are now not best 22.
HF: Clarke - Bauer - Dow. Bauer is hardly a key fwd more a third tall type.
FF: Castagna - XXXX - Ryan. Ryan is a ruckman but we will be forced to play him kpf
Int: Colina _xxxx - xxxx - xxxx
They know there is a problem yet they continue to sit on their hands and pretend it will be alright.
For Geez sakes the holes are there for everyone to see. No Key fwds few mids even with Baker, Graham Ross and Short named down there.
A real lack of experienced players a real lack of tall defenders with just Nyuon especially if Miller players second ruck and Gibcus plays seniors as well.
Why are we never trying to do the simple expedient of mirroring what we do in the seniors in the two's.
Pretty clear where the list short comings are you only need look at the seconds.
