Clarkson would have to pull off at least a finals in his first year.

Given the very competitive nature, on the scoreboard at least, not player effort, only take the players to actually want to perform as they should, which ridiculously seems a big ask for our lot, to reverse a number of those losses and get into the 8. That's is what is most frustrating. Our midfield isn't deep though and making the 8 would be it. So, agree, we need to clean out those who don't compete as it is dragging us back big time.
Re: Review - jeza - 06-10-2021
Our biggest problem has been our inability to recruit even a single midfielder of note - basically since Judd.
Williams was supposed to be it. But his body clearly isn't up to it.
We passed on numerous guys like Treloar, Jarrod Lyons and Brad Crouch. Missed the boat on guys like Lachie Neale, Rockliff, Tom Mitchell, Zac Jones, Shiel and numerous others.
And then we've missed bona fide mids in the draft - Oliver, Butters, Cerra, Tim Kelly, Perryman, Bolton, Parish, Hopper, Dunkley, etc.
And all the mids (apart from Walsh) have been busts so far.
I don't need a "Review" to tell me that.
Re: Review - jeza - 06-10-2021
Sack as many people as you can out of the soft cap - and pump all of that money into recruitment to make sure we don't keep missing the boat.

Yeah, we haven’t snagged a midfielder that desperately need, but; crouch, Rockliff , Jones? If any of them were on our list, we would be screaming about recruiting list cloggers. The others (maybe shiel and Mitchell aside, given the cost), wouldve been VERY handy.
Re: Review - jeza - 06-10-2021
Point being - we've struggled to get even B grade mids.
Newnes the closest I guess.
That is not even B grade.

Couldn’t agree anymore. Spot on!!!
I was so critical on sos for this very fact. Horse seems to have bolted. With another bottom 4-6 finish coming doubt we will attract them now if we couldn’t previously.
Re: Review - shawny - 06-10-2021
The drafting of kemp was another that I didn’t understand. Screaming for a ready mid by this stage of the rebuild and we use our first round pick on a bloke who just did an acl and now I hear he is more of a tall defender then a mid. And I can’t remember who it was but we passed on some kids who were still there when kemp was but were much more developed and ready to go yet still we decide to select a mid who wouldn’t be ready for 18 months.
Laughable.
Re: Review - ElwoodBlues1 - 06-10-2021
Agree with Jezza, midfield is where the game is controlled/won and we dont have the numbers or quality to compete.
Its also is putting a large workload on Cripps and Walsh and you have to wonder how long that can last.
You add a tight salary cap and it might be back to the draft for more kids if we cant offload some players and make some wriggle room to attract some quality readymade mids. Cerra and Merrett would interest me if we could afford them..

That Jets kid we just picked up in the MSD is part of the cure, he's more than capable of being the basis of a reshuffle.
Beyond form, I wonder if SPS in the 2s, and others, is a sign our club has realised the need for change. Under these rules we have too many of a type, that before were a sign of depth and now it's an excess.
