2019 trading, drafting and list management: players and personnel

I think getting another KP defender is the key to unlocking our team's potential. A reliable, solid KP defender will free Rampe to provide much needed line breaking and drive off half back. He is the one guy who can do this reliably either by foot or with his penetrating left boot.
That would then free Mills to move into the engine room, hopefully providing some much needed grunt. This in turn would allow Parker to play more minutes forward and also reduce the need for Papley to play midfield minutes.

Maibaum probably would have debuted this year if not for injury.

There might be something in that. Apparently we've been keeping a close eye on Fischer McAsey a KPD. Mind you, the club is probably closely looking at 100 potential draftees at this stage of the season but the fact they have looked at a KPD doesn't rule it out.

We've looked much more dangerous when Rampe takes the game on, usually when we are trying to chase down a deficit. He should at very least take the bulk of our kick ins. His kick in is much more penetrative than Lloyd's.

Agree 100%

If Rampe was such a good one on one defender he’d probably be the new Malceski.

McHack is injured again.
We won't see him play in the red & whites again, me thinks.
