What kind of player do you think your team is in need of?

What do you think your team is missing

key forward, defender, ball magnet, speedster etc..

I think West Coast need to inject a bit more pace into the midfield, Gaff, Rosa and even Embley provide good run along the wings but i think whats missing is another inside player to break the lines, Kerr has the ability to but gets tagged out of games to often so Shuey seems to be the only one who can really break through regularly. I think West Coast need another player with the ability to open the game up and break a tag.

    We will need another key defender sooner rather than later, we won't have glassy forever. Brennan i think looks the most likely to be the replacement.

    But there is something to be said with the extra pace in the midfield, we don't have the Judd kind of player at this point with time though shuey could possibly be that untaggable kind of player.

    Oh the answer was blindingly clear last week - someone like Cox. We had Ottens who was close to that - he followed up his ruck work after winning more than his share and was an absolutely imposing target when he went forward. Unfortunately we couldn't match the money Sydney used for Mummy and Vardy has been injured. West is a GREAT second ruck option and mobile flanker but he's not a Cox or Ottens. We lost the hit outs last week by a massive margin and still evened the clearances - says it all really

    (We could probably swap four or five superb midfielders for one decent big guy!)

    YIM - your midfield was slaughtered last week by half a Cats midfield. It is in awful form. Not lack of talent but lack of something right now! Your rucks won a mountain of ball and the Cats got most of it off them. Matty is dead right

    Richmond need that 'monster' defender type player. We have a lot of 2nd and 3rd tall options but not a key big man.

    Rance has done a serviceable job at full back but he's undersized to be a key defender.

    In my opinion this is what Richmond will do over the pre-season.

    Get Troy Chaplin from Port Adelaide (he's 196cm) and start playing Ben Griffiths (currently playing CHB) at CHF.

    St Kilda - I think we need a key ruckman - Have also had trouble finding one. Ben McEvoy is hitting some good form, and does his job well, but we don't have a stand out ruckman like Dean Cox. He would absolutely be amazing at St Kilda, or any team really!

    Otherwise, I'd look for a key forward. As good as Nick Riewoldt is one week he kicks 5 the next week he kicks 1. And his knees are getting old. He is better as a CHF working up the ground. Justin Koschitzke doesn't provide enough to be considered elite at all, he's severely inconsistent. We need a key forward like Petrie who could consistently kick goals for us week in week out and stays in that full forward role all game.

    Vickery from the Tigers kicked about 37 odd goals last year but has been injured for most of 2012 and eventually was taken out of the side for operations this year, which proved we needed another centre half forward type player, Brad Miller has been tried there but isn't really up to it, so I'm saying we need a C/H/F to help out Jack Riewoldt, it's good for a side not to be one dimensional.

    Probably another key defender or a ready made forward. While we have prospects in both and at least one star at each end, I feel the added depth and competition for spots would do wonders for the team.

    I think the Swans are in need of a key Forward, our Defence is one of the best in the comp at the moment and our Midfield is developing nicely

    Well collingwood desperately needs a ruckman. With jolly getting older we must start looking. We have Ceglar and Witts in VFL but they will take time to develop and they need an experienced ruckman to learn off. I don't think wood is the man for the job.

    Hawthorn, definitely need another key defender, have done for years. We've managed to scrap though until now but one day it's going to cost us dearly. I'd be absolutely out there now recruiting a ready made defender for next season.

    Crows are in need of another key defender to eventually replace Rutten. We also need a quality 2nd ruck for backing up Sam Jacobs.
