Just heard Stan on 3LO.
He thinks we're headed in the right direction.
Proven coach into 2nd year of 5 so can go right back without copping too much close scrutiny.
We finally have a game plan and everyone understands it. It's attacking and risk taking. There will be stuff ups but moving in the right direction.
Of 39 on our list
Only 10 have played more than 100
2 over 200
9 between 50-100
17 under 50 (not including 3 yet to play)
8 players today less than 50.
A concern is that nobody has really stepped up to replace Kane.
Will take 2-3 years to produce the goods and Gas, Richo, Staff, Kella and Chaff not likely to be there then.
Concerned we've got plenty of fast mid-fielders but nobody to step up to fill KPP's. No full back coming on. Not enough muscle.
Joel is unfairly criticised. he fights out of his weight division every week. He shouldn't have to fill a key position.
Hall hasn't stepped up.
Can't see the players who'll become our new spine.
Thinks we put on a brave front and doing the right things but will need to get some strong bodied players to complement the faster, but less strong players.
(That was from some quickly scribbled notes. I think it's pretty accurate to what Stan said though)

). The only issue I'd have is his comments about our lack of KPP's. He mustn't have seen Thursfield, Hughes, Schulz etc (as 8ball said) very often. But he's right, we do need a spine. This draft, definitely.
