The Blair "Which?" Project

We haven't improved.
Even the biggest 1eyed supporters can see we haven't improved.
Kosi helps, because we desperately needed a player that could take a pack mark or a down the line mark.
We kept too many that shouldve been shown the door.
Next October, I can see 8-10 players gone.
I would have like to see a few senior players on the table to . I'm expecting a few to spend time in the vfl also kids to get more of a go.
 
i think its our game plan that stopped us from improving. Majority of losses this year we were in it, some up to 3/4 time. Those one quarter lapses hurt us dearly. During those quarters of lapses we did nothing to stop the opposition influence.

Would that be a fitness issue or bellies full from the experienced guys??

I reckon as soon as Yze starts dropping the likes of Grimes, Graham, Flappers etc get ready for sookville to arrive at Punt Rd.
They won't get dropped

It helps you don't get rid of your runners Castagna & Bulter.
I still cannot believe we haven't got any high quality pressure forwards on the list.
Rioli is lucky he isn't back in the NT. He was shocking this year

I absolutely expect non performing players to get dropped. If not Yze got the job under false pretences.

Maybe but our hands were tied. Prob had to keep them even if we didn’t want to. Limited draft picks and draft lacking depth. Guess we will load up 2024 draft.
 
I agree. Has done a great job. Strengthened our hand in this draft, and next years, brought in a young tall forward and we only lost Soldo. It may expose us a little, but we needed to trade someone with currency and Soldo was probably the one we could afford to lose.

Overall the trade period started with 29, 50 and 68 and has ended as:

In 41, 65, Koschitzke, F2 (Freo), F4 (Port)
Out Soldo, Nyoun, 50

Not bad indeed.
The Future freo pick could be handy. Especially with they way they keep losing players who want to leave.

Fair few spuds n tired old farts in that free agency list. Clubs will either be flat out either signing up the good ones or clearing salary cap space during the year, then there'll be plenty of not much left over by season's end.

For me, McLuggage, Florent and Marshall should be priorities.

Depending on how our ruck situation holds up (does Samson come on, does Colina work out how to use Google Maps and find Punt Road, how does the new viking looking dude go), Darcy/English could be considered
