    Like all of us long time supporters the flag is the ultimate goal. But it is wild speculation to think that a total youth policy will deliver this. It is just as likely to deliver prolonged misery.

    I think we have youth but we lack solid contributers in the 22-25yo bracket. Are we smart enough to identify and recruit these? With our likely retirements we may have some buying power?

    I want us to be competitive.

    Once free agency comes in, middle of the road will be our 'premiership'.

    But as long as we give up now we won't be disappointed.

    Success brings success. That's the bottom line. It may suit other clubs to take the pedal off for a bit to get a few draft pics ( collingwood - pendelbury and D thomas, Melbourne etc ) but our club lacks the membership and following to be able to absorb that.

    Re: The who do we want and what will it take thread

    Apparently on SEN Robert Shaw said that we are interested in Norwoods full forward. He has kicked about 80 goals this seaon and is 21yo, is seen as a replacement for Hall.
    GWS are keen on him as well, perhaps a deal is to be done as part of the Ward deal?
    Can the Sth Aussies shed some light on this guy?

    I had a quick search on the SANFL website for a goal-kicking table, from what I could work out 27 goals leads Norwood's list kicked by a 186cm small forward/ wingman.

    As you say hopefully someone else will have some more info.

    There's a James Wundke who plays for Sturt, he's 21, 197cm, and has kicked 50 odd in the SANFL this year. Might be him, he's also a former AIS/AFL academy graduate.

    You are probably right, I got the information second hand. I know for sure he is 21yo and plays full forward.

    half right, half wrong


    his brother Michael (at South Adelaide) is leading the goal kicking with 51

    No onw from Norwood has kicked anything like that (80) in league or 18's (dunno about magoos, but i doubt it)


    A senior player that has been suggested as AFL worthy at Norwood is Kieran McGuinness....

    Right cheers, I'm trying to look it up on my phone. I remember Michael Wundke, he was delisted by Norf 2 years ago.

    They don't need to deal as he is out of contract and he can simply be signed up. The AFL would then compensate us with picks.

    I've heard this as well, has been playing in defense I hear. Good chance he will end up on a rookie list i'm told.
