Gutting the list and going the draft will not work out well for us for reasons already stated.
Even if the coming drafts weren't compromised, history should tell us it didn't work out for us last time, and there's enough evidence with clubs like Geelong that you must strike a balance of draft and trades.
But I draw the line with making us a retirement home for ageing Collingwood players... we did that with Hawthorn not that long ago.
We are not close to a premiership as some may believe.
But no matter which way we go, we need to get the coaching group right.
The current bomb, bomb, bomb guys could even manage to make the '95 team a laughing stock.
Players are not happy and the football department needs a good hard look.
Culture starts with coaches and flows down to the players.... after 4 years, they have failed miserably.
You are talking like they are average players that are done.
Elliot has kicked 47 goals this season.
Mihocek has kicked 32.
They are the Pies 1st and 2nd top goal scorers.
Curnow has only kicked 32 goals this season.
Curnow would kick 100 goal at Collingwood...
Elliot & Mihocek would become opposition step ladders at the bomb, bomb Blues... and eventually cash out their retirement fund.
I'm all for attracting quality experienced players... just want them to still be around when our window reopens in 3-5 years time.
I very much doubt he would have this year, he's been carrying a knee injury all year.
He's missed a lot of easy shots on goal.
If you want a standard and culture change, you can't just rely on coaching or the club to make it happen.
Voss is one of the most experienced leaders we have seen this century and clearly it is not rubbing off on them, they need someone on the ground to step up and show the way.
I only seen the last quarter this week, but I thought Weiters was one of the few to do this.
We need that in the forward line and McKay and Curnow are too selfish to be leaders.
