The brutal reality is we need another Martin (Pick 3), Cotchin (Pick 2)
Plus a bullseye top 20 like Jack Riewoldt (Pick 13)
To get to our next flag.
Keep topping up, you say. Doesn’t work.
Forget about Geelong. They still had their Cotch, Dusty and Riewoldt (Selwood, Danger and Hawkins) firing last year. Plus, they had their Lynch (Cameron) in career best form.
Forget about Sydney. They annually set up to contend but don’t look close at the end of the day.
We need two top fives (hard to miss) and a bullseye top 20.
So we bottom out starting now.
Some posters who know far more about list management than I have been posting this for some time now. Bully, Scooper to name two.
Who’s our top end mid in the 18-23 age bracket? Sonsie. Will be a good player but he ain’t Cotch or Dusty.
Gibcus could be our next quarterback superhunk, so we have that.
No first rounder in 2023 hurts bad. We need to trade in, make some hard calls on established players.
Vlastuin, Broad, Short, Bolton, Lynch, Rioli, Baker.
Not all, but some. Anyone with currency.
Bottom out and get those high picks. If we’re in it for flags, there’s no other way.
