in the trade or national,or pre-season draft periods,what players do you all think that are required for next year and beyond??

Primus,McLeod,Voss,Lloyd.
That will do for a start.
Our squad has to be trimmed of a little fat and strengthened by the addition of a ruckman(yes mr judkins we do need one)a strong marking backman,and a couple of wingmen come ruckrover types.
But are there any out there?

If anyone doubts the effect a ruckman can have, look at how Rhen almost single handedly got the inferior Hawks up against the best side in the league. Essendon have everything except a top class ruckman and it nearly cost them again.

We need a ruckman who can control centre bounces. As I have said before, it is the difference between watching in September and playing.

Ruckman yes, tall backman yes, we've got plenty of wingman - Rintoul OBree Lockyer centre line, Fraser Bucks Licca followers, that's a nice list. Remember Didak has to fit in there somewhere, Burns and Lonie off halfback, and with Nick Davis, you don't have much room for anymore midfielders!

With Wasly and Shaw still there, Johnson and Adkins pressing for senior selection, (ie. the one remaining spot on the half forward flank!) I think we're pretty sweet for little guys!
