Ive been thinking long and hard, I dont think we are as bad as some seem to think we are.
This is a simple way back to the top of the ladder..
Lachie Neale straight trade for Mitch McGovern..I love Lachie but we must trade quality to get quality. Adel will need to replace Rory Sloane and Port will be interested also so its an easy deal.
We pay Jeremy McGovern whatever he wants to come and play with his brother. We need him
We draft Ian Hill at whatever pick we have. We get him to the club now and school him on what to say to other teams recruiters...hate the cold, love my family, love Perth etc
We get Jason Carter under next gen and a few other diamonds from the rookie draft..
We also need to make a massive play for Maurice Rioli Jnr - His Dad would always see himself as a Freo person over Richmond. At Freo Maurice Jnr gets to make his own name..I hope the club is all over this one..
Lee Spurr goes straight to the coaching panel.
Johnno becomes the indigenous officer. D Pearce gets a job at the club too..
B: Connor Blakely, Alex Pearce, Luke Ryan
HB: Joel Hamling, Jeremy McGovern, Nathan Wilson,
C: Brad Hill, Stephen Hill, Ed Langdon
HF: Cam McCarthy, Mitch McGovern, Harley Bennell
FF: David Mundy, Matt Taberner, Michael Walters
Foll: Aaron Sandilands,Nat Fyfe, Adam Cerra
Bench: Andrew Brayshaw, Sean Darcy, Ian Hill, Bailey Banfield, Mitchell Crowden, Stefan Giro, Taylin Duman, Darcy Tucker, Brennan Cox, Michael Apeness, Brandon Matera, Hugh Dixon, Griffin Logue
This is a 10 goal better team than what we have out there now and very achievable with good depth such as Jason Carter, Ballas, Sheridan, Hughes, Kersten, North, Meek, Sutcliffe, Switkowski, Jones, Nyhuis & Strndica developing at Peel..
