I can understand Melican wanting to go if he will be given senior games elsewhere but we can't afford to let him go too easily - we don't have a lot of KPD depth. Gould and Melican is pretty much it and it clearly takes years to develop them to AFL standard. I don't hold out much hope for converting one of our other talls into a KPD e.g. McLean or whatever.
I still think that KPP prospects are our greatest list need, although the urgency has abated significantly since we found Paddy. It's now more in the forward half that we need KPFs to pair with Logan for the future. I think Amartey can do the job but we need at least one more young tall developing for a future without Buddy and Reid. I also wouldn't say no to trading in a tall (as opposed to only drafting).
