If Not BB, Who?

I agree. There's not many on here who think the end of 2020 is the "right" time to do such a review - you, me, kruddler, maybe a couple of others. Most everyone else thinks it's crazy and way too generous.

When we first went down this road, I thought to myself, with a bit of luck we might play finals this season.

Kreuzer and Docherty out made me write off our chances this year.

I still had 2020 as the year we went from making up the numbers to being truly competitive and earning a finals berth on the back of our strategy, and I see no reason to think that wont be the case (losses included).

Come end of season, we will likely recruit a better than average target (not a Setterfield, more the Shiel variety) and will really start to kick on next year.

You start to think of Dow with 50 games under his belt, Walsh in his second season, Weitering on the back of career best year heading into year 5, Mckay on the back of his 5th and career best season, Fisher in year 3.

IMHO, we might throw a future 1st rounder, and our 1st rounder from Adelaide to GWS to land Coniglio and they might go for that.  You bring him to us next year, and add another year of the forwardline working together then we are simply missing a small forward and games played together to really kick on, and history tells us that small forwards with goal sense are probably the easiest cherry to find to add to your cake.
