agree re Francis, hamling adn maybe lloyed first 2 delisted by essendon and Freo, Francis seems to have the ideal size but lacks footy smarts. LLoyd is close , and maybe cuningham and amarty if we can get Ugle hagan from bulldogs whose marking and kicking is more consistent than Amarties. Adams is a ? mark and maybe mitchel for delisting and Ramps for retirement. Sheldrake is also not a certainty lacks something maybe size aand cleary must also be close as we have at least 3 academy players to come. We have to upgrade Buller and play Datoli and Snell in the next 4 games to assess their worth.
We definitely need a tall backman to support Blakey ,Melicn and Tom Mc who may also be a problem with his problems. Intersting times ahead
Maybe the coach is also a ? mark. Twice this year we have succumed to a second half breakdown. What happens at half time, we have looked the goods against the Suns and the giants yeaterday until half time.

Ramps is a Star, my only thing with him is that next year he is 36 and history doesn't toll well for him. If he had the Boak treatment maybe but like you say, he is playing on Toby bloody Greene at 35, madness.
Odd is not having talls down the line, we can bag guys for short kicks and missed targets but there isn't a bail out option long down the line.
Warner bombs long more than anyone, looked great last year as we had 3 guys down the line that weren't going to get out marked.Leave a comment:

Wasn’t quite as bad as the Gold Coast game but not great either. GWS were red hot in the second half and with most of our stars off, we had no real answer. Even Errol: got a lot of the ball and ran hard, but butchered it a fair bit.
Wanna give two ticks. Wicks continued his stellar season. What a move. And not sure about the criticism on here of Rampe. Toby Greene was nowhere near it.
There was one coaching move that had me puzzled. Sheldrick really won some great contests early on and was part of our drive from the contests but then appeared, at least watching on TV, to spend a lot of the game at half forward. Odd.Leave a comment:

With McLEAN Hamling and Papley out next week maybe its time for Ladhams , Snell and Dattloi to be given a chance.Leave a comment:

Time for some calls for next year
Hamling/Francis/Lloyd, if they are still holding out players next year from the 22 we have no chance
Ramps, great servant, time to go
Jmac, salvagable, needs to improve or be overtaken, Cleary, Ollie very similar.
Rowy, simply doesnt do enough as a mid, not sure if he is ever going to be a 25 touch mid or where that would even leave him ? We moved Hewett on who was that same player with twice the possessions
Ladhams or Green need to play
Roberts, Sheldrick have shown potential, still very young
Braeden needs to go into the middle or at least be told to have a shot fwd of centre, give him the same licence Warner had when he was starting out
If we persist with Blakey in defence, he needs to play alongside 3 tall defenders. You cant have your razor thin, rolls royce jumping into and crashing packs. Put him on a wing
From the 2s worth a shot - Datolli, Hannily, Warner, Bice, Mitchell but when we pick them we need to let them play.
Take the blinkers off and let them off the tracks.... Look at this Angwin kid for GWS,never heard of him, 20 games, pick 20, 25 touches, let them play, if I see Corey or Cleary come in and get 5 touches after chasing it in the 2s I'll throw upLeave a comment:
