What is with the 'we need a key position defender'?? AJ, Rampe, Richards and Grundy are plenty for the next couple of years. Throw Reid in there as well.
What we need are fast midfielders. Parker, Bird, Kennedy, Hanners, ROK are all big bodied and not quick. Aside from Rohan and Jetta we have @@@@ all speed.

I agree about the KP defenders, and as someone else said, we can add Xav in a season or two, already taller than Ted and faster.
But we have good potential mids coming through the system, with pace in the likes of Harry Cunningham and Brandon Jack, although it wouldn't hurt to look for one or two more.
What we have lacked lately is skills by foot and hand. I can't believe that the team that cut up Collingwood earlier in the season has turned into this unskilled tear-my-hair-out turnover-prone lot we have seen all too frequently lately. What do they do in training?
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

I agree we need more midfield pace. But in addition to that, we lack big-bodied and tall KPP defenders. That's why Grundy gets a gig every week no matter what he does.

We need a bonafide small forward with some x factor.....Mr Betts fits the bill.
Longmire and Roos agree. If you haven't got the tank to run through the midfield you ain't going to get a job as a small forward. Lamb came to us as a small forward but they didn't look at playing him in the seniors until he developed his engine.
Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
I'm not sure we have a desperate need for a key defender, yes Ted and LRT are in their 30th year, but the much and unfairly maligned Grundy is only 27, and I suspect a year on the weights may accelerate AJ's development from a brilliant 3rd tall into a true key defender.
And beyond that I have been hugely impressed by Richards2 in the reserves. Lockyer could be a player, but I am getting an LJ sort of feeling about him.
