2014 /15 - List Review Analysis

[GVGjr]

How many defenders GVG do you reckon we should really target in this draft or would next year be better to do it.

We have 5 live picks on the night and Cordy so I think maybe just one key defender would be enough. We could take two versatile defenders that could also rotate through the midfield though.

We just need a good mix of athletic players but I suspect we will go with smaller mids.

And it goes without saying athletic players who have good football skills.

For sure. Do you think though that some players who early on don't have good footy skills can improve them or is that difficult to do.

Jones is the main tall out. So far incoming to the primary list:

Boyd 202cm
Hamling 193cm
Redpath 195cm
Zaine 193cm
Jong 190cm
Biggs 188cm

Our average height is significantly taller already. Interesting to see if this takes any perceived pressure about grabbing talls. I think the last time we did this quickly was the Street, Rawlings, Morgan (etc) couple of years. I think from memory we were then the tallest on average, but it didn't mean much being tall and spudly.

I think we have to recruit players with good foot skills as a priority.

Every player we ever draft should have to have good foot skills.
