one of those boys particularly will stand up, and I'm not sure who it'll be yet.
Adam Read and Ryan Burton join GWS's coaching group, with a couple of line coaches changing. Adam Kingsley wants "a game style that gives us an opportunity to compete in finals." On the new first-round picks: "we want to get into this draft. It's a strong draft."
Who replaces Lachie Whitfield in GWS's defence is open. Adam Kingsley named James Leake, Harry Oliver and particularly Oskar Taylor: "one of those boys particularly will stand up, and I'm not sure who it'll be yet." Players return for pre-season in early November.
Small forwards are in line for the spots opening in GWS's front half. Adam Kingsley named Cody Angove, Phoenix Gothard, Oliver Hannaford, Riley Hamilton and Joey Delana: Hamilton "had a significant impact" and Delana was "really strong in the last month of the season."
GWS let experienced players go to open gaps for younger players, Adam Kingsley says, and he wants more than half a season each from Brent Daniels, Sam Taylor and Jack Buckley. Getting Tom Green and Darcy Jones back after missing all year is "really important".
