Maybe the Crouch factor is because Hewett wants to head back to Adelaide.
We are likely to see only 4 - 5 delistings and maybe Hewett heads home.
More delistings next year i guess.
It would not be a bad option to go for something like this -
Campbell, Gulden, Elijah Hollands - Draft
Crouch and Ruck Trade in.
It would make us very very competitive.
If we take away the Fremantle game, we were scoring around 40 - 50 points a game through the year with practically half functional midfield, ruck and forward line. Plus the added factor of The COVID situation and lack of training together and lots of travel etc
The backline is already looking great with McCartin, Rampe, Mills, Lloyd, Cunningham, Thurlow and Melican. Backup Brand, Riordan, O'Connor, Aliir, Dawson. I think we still need Stoddardt and Ling in there if needed. Both are reasonably good. Ling in particular will get better.
Midfield of Kennedy, Parker, Stephens, Clarke, Rowbottom and rotating players such as JMac, Papley, Heeney. We do lack 1 - 2 genuine players in there and having Campbell and Crouch may be a big bonus. One with big body and another with speed and great kick. If Elijah Hollands is doing well from his knee perspective, get him and that would complete our midfield. Although he is probably a Halfforward rather than a true midfielder.
Backup of Chad Warner, Sam Wicks
Forward - We are lacking in some young talented KPF now that McCartin has gone back but i guess we need to buy one rather than develop one as it takes years to develop one. And we can still end up having someone like Mitch McGovern, Schache or Eric Hipwood who are still considered second or third KPF rather than the primary one on the list.
