Round 15 already. Due to injury the year has almost been a right of in getting games into kids.
Next year the real question has to be will he have the guts to play the kids as a collective and start making some hard calls.
Like this year i think we have to play as many kids as possible next year.
Vlastuin - Balta/gray - Trainor
Smillie - Gibcus/Miller - Banks/recruit
Campbell - McAuliffe - Brown
Nankervis - Taranto - Pick 2
Hotton - Faull - Lalor
Armstrong - Lynch - Algar.
Hopper - Lefau - Pick 3 - Broad - F/A
recruit 4 mids in all areas nd rookies f/a f/s. So pick 2 pick 3 and f/s kellaway, Get a mature ready to go f/a.
mature h/b with pace skills and can defend.
1 actual wing under 24yrs.
Small and general forwards x3.
1 actual ruckman.
Imo 8 changes should be the minimum number of changes but knowing us and how deluded we are it will probably be lucky to be 4.
We need to use 4 or 5 nd picks id say and then utilise the F/A Rookie systems and trades as best we can.
No battlers like Ross Short, McIntosh, HRS, Sonsie, Young. Its time to do some hard yards.No doubt some will stay but we must continue to turn the list over.
No not good enough to date Green, Rioli, Colina, OH-B, Bauer, Smith and thats not even trying.
We could cut back 20 odd players and make a justifiable case for all of them.
The team above is the way forward, not all will make it but imo it gives us our best chance to turn things around at a decent pace.
