Not necessarily, we've done pretty well with our draft picks and building them up the traditional way, but yeah, now with free agency, unless we are active it might be tough.

Our inactivity in this trade period is frightening me, with pretty average picks available in the draft i think we should of at least tried to trade a few players. The problem with our team is although we have a lot of potential most of our players are B-Grade and for us to contend we need to get more quality players. I mean look at our delivery into our forward line, so many up and under kicks its unbelievable

I think 2015 will show a huge turnaround in form due to the club understanding Simpson's game plan & getting into the right positions. [I'd be really surprised if we don't make the top 8.]
I think that because Simpson's trying to create a brand of football at the club & just spent a year teaching it to the current line up it'd be silly to have a big change up, since we have a list hitting peak soon. Our forwards are as good as any in the competition, once our mids have that forward string on their bow we should be compete with the clubs like Sydney/Hawks consistently. They're obviously going to draft some pace this time around & there's probably 4 guys around the mark that we would be able to use. Atleast on of them will be able to be picked up at our first pick, and maybe even our second. Add to that we got a Priddis 2.0 with a Daniel Rich left boot for free there wasn't a huge necessity to attack trades.

This flowering comparison is spot on.

Seems like a really motivated dude, would be a great addition if we could snaffle him.

Haha yep, I addressed Scooter up there ^

As for Shuey, the club stood by him through his personal and injury dramas and hes made it known he was ultra impressed with the support the club gave him.

Highly highly doubt he would ever want to leave.

Haha as much as I would love either of those two at Punt Rd I think the chances are next to nothing ;)

Reports are that Conca has been shopped around to your lot but not sure whether anything has come of it
