The potential is definitely there. A lot will need to go right however. They are already doing OK in the hitouts department. Mainly I just want to see them holding a few more marks, so they can have some impact around the ground.

It will come Rudeboy. In a couple of years we will be reaping the benefit of giving them so much senior experience.

This is why any talk of trading Witts is insane
You trade from areas you have extra players not a shortage.
Trade Witts and then recruit a ruckman is a no win situation

You must be watching another game, Grundy & Wiits have never taken a mark overhead let alone a pack mark.
There is Collingwood and then the rest.

It could easily be under the right circumstances.

Witts for Carlisle as an example.

Kreuzer for nothing via F/A.

A rapidly developing Cox in reserve.

Our side would be stronger next year IMO if that was to occur.

The more I think about it the more it makes sense.

Kreuzer is a ready made top line ruckman and at a club like ours a clear match winner. Grundy is a future top ruckman. Meanwhile Cox is progressing faster than expected. That leaves Witts as possible trade bait.

I like it.

Any chance we could use free agency to nab a good player, rather than a broken down fragile hack?

Young. Lynch. Now Kruezer?

Are we trying to repay the Blues for taking Daisy off our hands?

Please...

They obviously want to bring Kruezer in to replace Toovey.

This is my concern too...
We don't want a karmic-Karlton pay-back for Thoma$, with a renown injured player on big money sitting in the stands watching the seniors, for extended periods of time.
