Yes true Jim. I'm not panicking yet. We will get more young talent/depth on board this year and some more of the more ordinary players will go. I still have confidence in SOS and his team to get it right.

Critical errors killed us today.... Kerridge.... Simmo....
If we had a second marking target we would have run these hacks even closer.
Cant knock the effort.
P.s. Brendan Goddard remains a flog.

We have to cut our losses with Casboult at the end of this season, he's never going to be any better and he's just not good enough.
Necessity is the mother of invention and if he's not there we have to come up with something else, maybe even something that works.

Was disappointed as the senior players not the kids cost us in the last 5 mins again.
Simmo and doc made costly.
But cas had a fairly simply shot with under 2 mins to go to put us in front and sprayed it.
Smedts is simply a waste of time. Fisher doesn't touch the ball enough for a mid.
Pickett did some amazing things. Doesn't get much of the ball but could be something dry special. I would persist with him till end of the year.
Again same old story - again we have no one to guide us home when in a winning position late in a game.

If you come out and say you're "rebuilding your list" that's a choice you make...and we've done it very publicly.
We had to do it that way to keep the supporters on side.
But you cant say "we're stripping back our list to the bare bones...but give us a priority pick anyway."
It's our choice that we've taken this path.
That's the "out" for the AFL
It won't be rewarded in the short term.
We've been in the wilderness since they stole those early picks :o Whats that? 15 years now?
The Dawks were up and down since 91 and bottomed out in the mid 00's and bang they get a P Pick.
We have a case and should push it!

We have had more top picks than anyone and we're still garbage.

Because we've butchered our second, third and fourth rounders, as well as most of our first rounders apart from the number ones.
Watson, Bootsma, Yarran, Boekhorst, Menzel and Lucas were all first rounders in the last 7 or 8 years, all gone except Boekhorst who soon will be, we traded pick 7 for Jaksch and pick 20 for Warnock.
It's no accident that our list is in such bad shape, and it can't be fixed in a year or two.

True, wasted picks and failed player development.
Yet they are two things that have clearly improved in the last couple of seasons.
Perhaps they are the only things that have improved over the last two seasons!

We have taken top eight sides to the limit.
Essendon were at full strength and we were missing Cripps, Curnow, ACOS.
I still expect 10 wins next season
