Two things I think could add to make a huge difference. Heppell has been pushed out of proper clearance mid to just kinda running around doing a bit of everything.
2018 Heppell goes from that non-descript mid role to Watson’s role as the main clearance guy which he was shaping up as pre-ban. Now in that generic mid role you add another guy basically as good as Zerrett. Takes a lot of pressure off the disposal and spread running of the big slow guys.
Laverde stapled to one wing, Colyer the other. Myers probably still stays just for muscle until Langford or Begley demand his spot. Parish and Zaha round out the midfield. Howlett into the cannon, ditto Bird.
Mmmmmmm.
Quicker, better disposal across the board, lose a fraction of grunt but that much better at forcing turnovers and far more punishing when we do get it - which is how we’re trying to play.

I think Kelly would be well served by discussing his career options with Tom $cully.
Also I’m not sure how much “romance” there will be in winning a gift wrapped flag for a club that is barely a quarter as old is he is which has fewer members than norf.

Google tells me that we weren’t mentioned in relation to Goddard until mid-September in 2012. In early September he was at Freo or Richmond. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Colyer. Hmmmm. He’d want to start putting some grippo on. What about McGrath? It would be seriously tempting to keep McGrath back if Kelly came on board. The flip side of course is that a midfield of hepp, Lang, parish - Zaha, Merrett, Kelly, McGrath with cameos from Fanta, tippa, Begley, bj, lav and maybe a stopper could legit lay claim to being the best midfield to Don the red and black ever.

Oh yeah, that’s an a real quote for sure. It reads like it was written by that dodgy journo from The Wire.
