Subject: Just on the announcement that we are going to be very trade active …

What is the start point ?
Conversely who are the gettable targets ?

Yes we all know about Bailey , but look ahead and revisit the listed veterans .
Then take a squiz at Catland …..they have lost one fierce , unrelenting leader , but have kept a swag of veterans and they seem on the slippery slope to nowhere

We have been loyal for good reason …2023 flag was yesterday and on that big day the old boys were all sensational

But the day will come ….so who are the targets ? …Miller/Rowell , Serong …a key forward…a key defender ???

No one wants to lose any of the players whom we have developed but when you analyse it ( putting aside Reg G’s current good form) the best performed ex Pies over recent years are on the screen as I sit here now — GC Captain Witts who has matched it with Darcy and the big ex Dee and Aish who was unlucky to be traded but has flourished there

Some youngsters might be starved of opportunity others might have the Ollie Henry syndrome and long for home

No one wants to destabilise this group but it sounds like there will be “movement
at the station “
