[Freak 100]

how did we end up with 2 top 5 draft picks (Vickery and Watts)

[Red and Blue Flame 142]

cos he said, green, dunn, bartram, bell and sylvia were all up for trade

[deanox 8,770]

bate isnt a CHF.

and garland isnt a FF. he maybe capable of playing forward, but i cant see him becoming a first choice KPF. maybe a third floating tall, maybe a winger. but he'll need to put on a lot of weight to be a FF

[Demon_Tingles 211]

I agree with that assumption Colin is a very athlectic player as shown by the job he did on Lance Franklin we need to recruit a forward that can lead us for a number of years because our problem is scoring goals.

[Red and Blue Flame 142]

definitly. we're fine in defence, need a bit more pace in midfield. need a gun key foward and a ruckman, and we're set

[Demon_Tingles 211]

That is exactly right. However i don't think our midfield is that slow. get a full pre season into some players for a change and get them fit will make a world of difference. Buckley is as quick as they come but he needs to put on some muscle and Jones looks slow but he is actually quite fast.

I think our problem lately has been that we have too many midfielders on our list but they keep getting injured. But a ruckman and a key forward are a must. One option could be getting Nicknat at pick one or even Vickery and getting Nathan Grima from the Kangaroos in a trade or psd as he was on a rookie list for one year and did his knee five weeks into pre season.

I know Nathan aswell and he is a solidly built forward or Back who last year was pivotal in Central Districts grand final win in the SANFL, we can get him for nothing in the PSD and he is only 24.

1. We are not getting Vickery, stop putting it in every bloody thread, we get it, you like him.

2. You have assembled a very very ordinary starting 22.

Miller, Sylvia, Jones, Wona and Green are best 22 and probably Valenti as well.

3. There is no way in this world we will get another top 5 pick.

4. Don't try and make Garland a forward, just because he can sort of play there doesn't mean he is the answer, for 10 years we were crying out for a backline, now we have Rivers, Warnock, Martin and Garland, who is probably the best out of all of them right now. He is confident and is working on a future partnership with Warnock. Why mess with it...?

Those are my points, I hope this clears up confusion so we can avoid these silly things being posted in the future.

I named Bate at CHF because he is touted as a KPF. So I think it is time for him too step up too the mantle from Miller as Jamar did with White this year. Put some pressure on the kid to learn the position! miller is too inconsistent for me.

Why cant Garland be tried at FF? Even if we are plugging that gap for now! Newton needs time in the reserves. I agree with your other position options for Garland. I dont agree he will have to put on weight to be a FF though. By the way, he would be a leading forward. Not a bomb it in long and hope forward. That can be for Robbo to hang his trademark speccy. He would be more of a Mark Williams type. Lynden Dunn could be another option to try at FF. Has the size and speed off the mark! And I believe we have Garland covered in the backline if it lines up as named. If not, he can be an Adam Hunter swing man.

The backline has no running defenders! All big fella's. I hope the midfielder's would be helping out.

yeh ur ryt thats a fair call

i spose throw in cj and buckley and bartram down bak myt help.

[Guest uncle joe]

Looking through those teams shows just how far we have to go . A lot would not even be on the Geelong or Hawthorn Lists . After trade week we should cut the deadwood to make use of the maximum number of draft picks available . Depending on trades we start with 6 ( I think ) , plus the PSD .Better to take the chance with new kids than persevere with proven flops !!!
