And therein is the problem of our list at present. While there are not so many real duds, we also have way too few genuine stars.
There are quite a few on our list that can go ok in the 22 as support players, the bottom 6 if you will. But without those out and out guns in the top 6 at present we are just shuffling fringe players with more fringe players and so we are just treading water at present and not progressing.
Plus if we had extra those real stars, they would make our average and fringe players play better.
The list mangers need to really prioritse QUALITY over QUANTITY now.
For many years it has largely been about quantity, and filling all positions. And this went ok in rebuilding the list and making us more competitive. It has built a good foundation for success, but it will not take us all the way. We now desperately need to improve the quality in the team. We need more genuine guns, and overal we need some better ball users as overall on our list we have many players that do not use the ball well.
Geary for example is elite in many areas. But use of the ball is not one of them. A Geary in your 22 can be excellent, but a team full of players with Geary's disposal skills, and disposal decision making ability
does not fora Top 4 Team make.
This is why Sinclair is good for our team. He uses the bal well and makes good decisions.
So with our list management , YES they will have to cull some players that might go ok at AFL level. BUT this is needed to fit in some QUALITY talent. What I do not want to see is just average players out for average players in now.
