Archie Hill for 2026 and not much else right?

I’m certainly in this camp of keep getting as many academy boys as we can because we don’t know what’s happening in the future. The drafts from 2027 onwards will be Tassie impacted also (assuming they build a stadium). With how well our academy is run now imagine the backlash if we picked up a Vic kid and he was a bust and or decided to go home over an academy kid our coaches have been watching for years

I would have a problem with just drafting academy kids if they were all the same types/position of players

Walter - Key Fwd

Read - Swingman

Rogers - Outside mid/fwd

Graham - combo mid inside and wing

Lombard - inside mid/fwd

Gulbin - 3rd forward

(Whichever of these we get)

Uwland - Half back/wing

Addinsall - accumulator

Patterson - line breaker

Murray - intercept defender

Hudson - key defender
