Dynasty or Rebuild ?
- Thread starter Mr Brightside
- Start date
I thought he was a rookie for some reason, then I checked what you sent me the other day, but forgot he was still contracted, thanks mate
Good thread Mr Brightsider.
Interesting to hear Lambert's name come up. I've certainly been giving his future some thought. 29 next year. Still a good contributor but with others coming through & looking for opportunity, he's one they'd no doubt be looking closely at beyond this season. Caddy, Pickett & Broad in the same boat. We've got lots of young talent looking for opportunities.

I think we need to be bold and try and trade for a top 5 pick. we have that many rookies and young talent that is untested (CCJ, rCD naish egg, Ross, Dow ) to upgrade that our draft picks for next two years are probably not required.
package our first and second round this year and next Year to the hawks,crows or north for a top 5 pick. Throw in Higgins as well And that is a good start to a rebuild and we can hopefully gain an elite talent.

I would be open to the freo / pickett rumour.
Love him but there a few knocks on his game.
Funny how the media are speculating constantly over our list like it was a rotting carcass.
Cant see us trading out untried first rounders but some regulars may get the tap this year.

I would at this particular time as
Alternatively what about. Higgins, rcd, naish Houli to the bombers for their first pick. 3 very good talents that cannot get a game and the experienced veteran to help their rebuild.
- Look at our rookie list. They all need to be upgraded onto the senior list
- list sizes to be reduced.
- who do we delist this year. Rance, Gartwaite,and broad to be traded. opens up 3 spots
- Rcd naish Ross stack dow all need opportunity As they have talent. Is pick 18 and 36 in the next two years moving ahead of any these guys
- we have shown we can find and develop players from late in the draft.

You have to be very careful with "trading out" There is a distinct possibilty that you then lose the culture and connectivity of the group. Some of us remember what happened to the tight knit club when we lost Graham Teasdale, Francis Jackson and Whale Robert's for the John Pitura deal. It took years to recover from that.Just tried the Cornes over the top statement
No matter what happens over the next 3 weeks it’s going to be as crucial off season as there’s been in some time. With list reductions a reported tight salary cap, a bunch of stars over 30 who are all crucial to a flag tilt next season and a ” potentially “ very good bunch of youngsters .
Balmey is going to have make such decisions as do we let Basher go to free up space ?
Do we get a stop gap ruck while Soldo is out ?
Do we let Broad go ?
Do we hit the draft hard to free up space and build for a tilt or do we top up now with good but not stars like Crouch ?
Do we put a player like Lambert or George on the market after not having there best year ?
Do we lock away Balta on a long term deal and let Astbury go ?
Is it worth going after a Toby Greene , A grade type to go full on in 2021 ?
Do we give the Captaincy to another and let the Skip “ concentrate on his footy”
So on an so on , we are in a great time and IMHO the best team going around, however it is a very interesting time.
In Balmey we trust
Absolutely agree on the culture and retention of players. I would prefer to use the draft picks as they have no emotional attachment
Yep see if we can entice Goldstein with the potential to win a flag before he retires. We need ruck support for Nank whilst Soldo recuperates.
We have too many A grade players to be looking at a rebuild. Whilst we have Dusty, Prestia, Lynch, JR8, Cotchy etc..we have to keep pushing for top 4’s.
That said, I reckon Hartley will keep refreshing the list enough that we don’t fall off a cliff at the end of this era

I'd like another top shelf young mid to compliment the young group we're building.
we have being in a re build since 2017,brought in several top 25 picks,from then we have balta,bolton heading towards a grade with baker more consistent and stack already showing a grade posibility ,many regular 100 -200 gamers who are young,just remember we are vfl premiers as well.
I feel this year is the last opportunity to win a Premiership before we start a slow decline and a subsequent rebuild.
We are probably just about to cross the line beyond our peak, but I still believe we are the top team.
It’s 3 more wins folks and we bring #13 to Punt Road.
