We have been trying to get a genuine ruckman for a while without success.
A mid who can kick goals would be handy as well.

I don’t think the league side is that far off TBH and are competitive most weeks

Although it is true we will finish below them this season, I think that Sturt, the Eagles and South would all challenge us in being the second worst proper SANFL side... on current form.

He was the Operations Manager at Norwood for several years. At present he is working for a Player Management Group as a Talent ID specialist; so hopefully he may have some connections through this?

Rossy is a gun, key to some pretty formidable lists over the years at the Parade, great get for the Dogs.

Mark often dropped into (not literally) the Nwd History Group meetings in the old Premiers Bar. I could listen to Mark talk football all day. Brilliant football brain, scary what he could do for the Doggies (if the Doggies have enough money for recruiting).

I believe that our number one priority has to be a tall marking forward. This would help straighten up our play and give our mids confidence in delivering the ball forward. Much as I love Aidan, he is more a half-forward flanker than a key forward. Fraser does well when forward, but we really need him all over the ground (a clone or two of him would help ). Two players we lost whom would have been handy were Daniel Menzel and Connor McLean. At Norwood, Conner has proven to be a better player than we seemed to give him credit for. Maybe we didn't manage him well?
The return of Marcus Barreau next year will be really useful, as will a full pre-season for Aaron Nietschke. I also hope that Hosko decides to go around at least one more time.
I wonder if Isaya McKenzie may be interested in returning? Not sure how enjoyable it would be having to play community football as much as he does as part of the Crows setup.
Cheers
