I don’t think the league side is that far off TBH and are competitive most weeks
Recruits will be on their way soon enough ..
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
I think this has been just a big a problem as our lack of recruiting.
As you said McLean has for one reason or another settled at Norwood and is playing good league football.
Even Lachlan Grubb has gone to North played every game in the league for a team that is top of the table.
