Targetting a tall defender in the next trade

It would be nice to have a Full Back in the team.

We do need a genuine All-Australian attacking midfielder to get us to the next level. If he is not in our current glut of young midfielders then Roos needs to fire all of the people responsible for recruitment.

Better yet a KPP that can play at either end.

WTF? I'd hand in my membership if we got him! Dud. As is Hay. (Well, that's not totally true, but injuries have cruelled him.) Croad maybe; Lance, no. Seriously, I'd prefer LRT than Lance, as there's more upside.

Kosi would've been grand.

I heard a few ex Collingwood recruitment staff are on the markert

But seriously, from where we have finished in the last 10 years and with us not having the ability of calling upon large pools of talent in our state for rookie selections like SA & WA, our recruiting department along with decisions made in the football department regarding trades have been very good.

I am pretty confident we will get a great midfield core of 3 players that could play 100+ games for the club out of he current batch of players.

We only now just need to un earth a little cream for icing on the cake.

Firstly, Shauble should be playing. No doubt about it.

Secondly, Leo Barry is not a full back. I have nightmares about moments like the first quarter against Essendon. Leo plays the man too much which is why he gives away so many frees.

I agree we should recruit a big bodied backman so Leo can be moved up the ground a bit. But unfortunately KPP don't grow on trees and are rarely traded.

And he's from Woy Way too!
He and Cruiser could speak "coasty" together.

I could try to chat to him after the season's over and try to make him homesick.

If every RWOer who ever threatened to hand in their membership over something the club might do carried out their promise, sorry I mean threat, they'd be almost no members left on these forums.
