Very sensible post, and I share the same concerns in relation to our age profile and we'll replace those players I've highlighted in bold.derkd wrote:This could well be maybe a slightly false dawn for us...I only say this because I feel we don't know how the club will fair over the next few years with the likes of Pendles, Sidey, Howe, Checkers, Elliott, even Adams...closer to the end of careers then the start. Hard to replace all that talent....so we need the slow burn build. I love the core of young talent making it ways.
I am sure Wright and Fly are well aware of the gaps we still need to fill to have a sustained run at success. I feel it is the 21 to 26 year age gap we need. Bobby Hill would be a handy addition, I would love the club to chase a Zac Butters...get him back home and get him in our midfield mix....expensive but would help out the likes of Nick Diacos in years to come. Would GWS do a straight swap of Degoey for Tim Taranto? Lol pipe dream i know..but he would be a huge get too...and it seems he wants to come back to Victoria.
And yes it still might take a couple of years ...we are a long way ahead of where I thought we might be at the start of the year...but we might still have a year or so dip in the mix too.

Unfortunately contracted till 2024 but that hasn't stopped many clubs before. Roos hold the cards.

Obviously it doesn't take away from how well we've performed this year.
Agreed; however... exactly which players are getting delisted by the end of 2022 to make way for these big names such as Taranto?themonk wrote:Worked well with Josh Daicos as juniors.mattdally wrote:Tim Taranto
Would be an excellent get.
