    Key Defender more of a a need, Lever perfect.

    Our Key fwds aren't far off the mark.

    Cameron, Hogan and Darcy are a step ahead

    The rest are going at 2 goals a game which is either, not a lot more than our guys have done or not alot more than our guys are capable of.

    Madness to burn multple 1st round draft picks on Curnow.
    Logan, Amartey, Mclean have all done the same if not more at the same time of their career

    I do worry about Amarteys durability though
    Lever would be exactly what we need, would love an upgrade to one of either Mclean or Amarety

    Out of all the key forwards mentioned by the media in recent weeks as being possible trade baits at season's end, Charlie Curnow peaks my interest the most, but not at the ridiculous 2-3 x 1st round picks some have suggested!!!!

    Fantasising if we somehow can get a deal done (which may also involve players), i can envisage Charlie being so potent for us, particularly with the likes of Erroll & co giving him silver service.

    Charlie & Joel being our key forwards, with Logan groomed in KPD role and potential swing man (rather than McCartin).

    Any key forward we recruit will put pressure on the likes of McLean and Buller holding their spots on the list (or requesting trade).

    With this year's draft deemed as not being deep, clubs will up the ante trading for players. We also have the Academy prospects to consider, so i'm thinking club may do a rather larger than normal list overhaul, particularly with Cox's first crack at shaping list to his desires.

    Cox led a lot of the consideration last year (especially on draft night), so its probably close to his second crack - but will definitely be interesting to see where he takes it.

    I think you are on the money here with your comments. In my opinion the reason we lost the grand final in the way we did is two fold. Again, for the second GF in a row, we played injured players ( McDonald and Heeny ) in 2022 it was Sam Reid. Secondly, when we had these injuries, we were totally unprepared as we had not exposed fringe players to see who could handle the pressure when we had the opportunity mid season with the philosophy that you don’t change a winning team. Cox appears to be more open to this.
    Having said that, I don’t believe we would have beaten Brisbane, but we all expected a significantly better effort.
    The other thing you have touched on is list depth which has been exposed this year which needs to have an even balance between development and experienced players.

    One last, I share your concerns about Robert’s, but still hold hopes for Campbell
    I agree on every point

    Very surprised, he just looks so far off a best 22 when we are fully fit, guess depth is a good thing.
    I think he's been important to our structure. If we want to play Mills behind the ball, which we are doing right now, we need someone in the middle doing the grunt work of clearances. Gus is doing that. I get he has issues to tidy in his game, but at the moment we need his in-and-under stuff. To be honest, he's also the only under 22 midfielder on our list showing any substantive signs. Cleary will probably get there, but he's not there yet. If we moved him on, there'd be a hole in the development of our list.

    Watch the Pies scoop up Lynch. He and his family are Pies supporters

    Pies will be thoroughly testing how to win flags using the Dad's Army theory.

    FWIW Heard Gerard Healy suggesting we should enquire about Tom Lynch. Another journo (can't remember who) suggesting we should chase Mitchell Lewis (Hawthorn), who hasn't yet been re-signed for next year.
    Lynch too old and Lewis no better than what we have coming off a knee

    You can work on skill easier than working on being a ball getter
    not so sure about that, but I am happy to be proven wrong
