Time to move on from last season so thought I would start a new topic to analyse next year.   After looking at our senior list on the club's website, it looks very young and inexperienced with lots of kids promoted from the colts.

We'll need a few well established recruits if we're going to fire a shot next year because if we're unable to bring in a couple of KPPs, a ruckman and another inside mid, then I can see us down near the bottom of the ladder.  I hope I'm wrong but that's the way it's looking to me.  

Interested in the thoughts of others.

Agree BC. I think we need a couple of mids with genuine toe and good delivery almost as much a good ruckman. Other than that we need height in the backline

Hello BC, my respected friend, I heard that you blokes have signed a Ruckman from Glenelg and also an a grade forward from SA. What you probably don't know is that we are chatting to a fellow who may just jump ship from the mighty Lions. Well, if you move up into the Northern suburbs that freeway is a pain so might as well pull on red and blue jumper. Also, an a grade player.

Winger old son. Nice to hear from you and I hope all is good at your end.  Your mob were supposed to have Greg Clark signed, sealed and delivered when he was delisted until you didn't. I'll worry about losing an A grader when it happens. A ruckman and a forward sounds terrific. I hope it's true.

BC we get some mid field toe back with Giro but he may have a slow start after the ACL, Hayden hopefully gets through the pre-season and can have an injury free run, he could be big if he stays fit, the ex Richmond VFL guy helps with the tall forward /ruck and if Winger is correct we may get a proper ruckman, so just need that extra tall KP back. Fingers crossed Locks body will hold up and the younger backs that have had to carry the load, develop sufficiently to have a bigger impact. Guys like Franceschini has pace to burn, needs to step up this year and claim a regular place in the mids and Bartlett must get more consistent as a mid sized forward, he has a massive upside if he can get that consistency and improve is defensive side. Mullane is another who has struggled with injury but when fit is a real asset down back with his intercept marking, as good as Savigni on his day.

Mullane and Savigni played in the backline together for 2 years as juniors at Warwick Greenwood. It was quite the brick wall down there!
They'd complement each other very well if they could stay injury free at the same time and team up again. Fingers crossed they get the chance.

Agree MTW. Funnily enough I was a  back man for the Warwick junior footy club myself.  Nowhere near as good as those two. Our half backline was myself and the two  Fullgrabe senior brothers. Whitfords had no chance.

I’d love to see Mullane get a full run at a season in the league. I really rate him. I think tends to play as a bigger defender than he is, a terrific mark.

I see work has started on the new playing surface and lighting upgrade. I hope there's no issues with the turf like Shark Park and it's ready to go for pre-season or at least round 1.

I went to the aflw derby. The ground looked in great nick. Didn't seem much to do, to be honest.
