Kreuzer not wanted

We need everything. It's just a case of where to start.
i agree we are deficient in most areas. theres one simple reason why you should take your ruckmen kpp before onballers. yhey take longer to develop. im with phantom to a degree on what types we should be taking this yr. we have an opportunity to fix our ruck stocks long term this draft. so if possible we should take 2 ruckmen and a kpd with our first 3 picks. if we go with an onballer first pick i think it important we draft a ruckman and kpd with our next 2 picks and take another ruckman later in the draft. an ideal situation would be for us to trade into another top 10 pick.
Agree with your views.

I will add in the last draft Reiwolt was a good get for a kpp & also Polak. The club has attempt to fix the KPP & we should again this draft exactly how you state imo too. Kru or Cotch either 1 with our first pick then rucks after that but I am not sure how we will get another first rounder from our stocks by trading, but agree an attempt should be made.

I do believe though with Cogs, Foley, White, Raines, Tuck, Lids & even Polo at times we have a neuclus for a midfield that still needs time to improve but a good hard preseason to get fitness levels up even higher is a must with also an increase bulk size.

Furthermore big long preseason should be done on tackling were players reach exhausting levels in tackling to start getting the bodies accustomed to the pain. Too many times players break away from tackles we place.

He is probably the best kid in the draft but wont do well at Richmond COS WE HAVEN'T GOT A MIDFIELD that could finish off his good work. We need midfielders, good ones that can kick and also are in and under players. Not useless MORONS like Capt *#@#*R Johno, Tuck Hyde Krak Foley Tambling Raines. And before you all jump down my neck on Foley HIS DISPOSAL IS WOEFUL (50%). And if I hear that Capt has been playing with an injury I'II spew up. If he is injured then dont play the DUD. Sympathy goes out to the defense who have to put up with no pressure from a WEAK INSIPID midfield. Port and Brisbane have been rebuilding and its taken them 2 years to be come very competitive ITS TAKEN US 25 BLOODY years and we still cant get it right.

Congrats To Connors, a hard nut that stood up to W@#$%& Hall and has good skills. I WANT PLAYERS LIKE THIS

I guess most people will realise your speaking rubish FigJam.
 
We are the worst or equal worst in the league in practically all areas. This affords us the luxury of picking the best possible player available. Having said that, there is supposedly a truism in football that big men take longer to mature than midfielders. Consequently if we wish to regain competitiveness as quickly as possible we would go for a running player(s). However, if we want to build a list that might eventually challenge for a premiership we should probably go for Kreuzer and perhaps another tall with our priority pick. The short term returns would be modest, but as they mature we would position ourselves over the next couple of drafts to get the class midfielders we desperately need. Of course if they introduce a lottery system next year then this whole approach is largely screwed.

Still for any number of reasons (not least of all because he is the best credentialed youngster available) Kreuzer should be our man.
 
GuysI don't think so. I like Kreuzer a lot from what I have seen but based on this year's performances and what we have coming into the side I feel confident that we are going to struggle to avoid getting the first pick in next year's draft. Either due to it being a priority pick or because we came stone motherlesss last again.

Using this intuitive insight about our future fortunes I say go for Cotchin or the best KPP (Kruezer is a ruck and does not have the speed to be a kpp) and then go for Natnui next year.
