Weve got picks 1 & 2.. now all but Daisy the cow and Drongo Dave seem to agree that this will be Scully and Trengove or at worst Trengove and Scully !!

If we were to say hypothetically pick up the Ball ( yes, intended ) at the PSD then , and if we can harness the force...we'll have Ball, Scully and Trengove..ably assisted by the likes of Grimes, Morton, Jones and Moloney with Blease and Strauss still to come.

Its just mind-boggling how all but overnight how much sharper, quicker and skilled that midfield becomes.

some blokes are really going to have to train and play their guts out if they want to press for this new Melbourne...great isnt it

oh..btw...put it in the drafting sides of things..as none of those three are actually here yet !!

good names but not elite players at the end of the day...

a somewhat damning prophecy ...based on ?

what about adding jack watts to your hypothetical?

he's my perfect example of a good name but not an elite player...

I said good names but elite players because your listed players would struggle to get a game for the cats...i see the cats as the bench mark for the comp.

but i agree...some blokes will need to train harder than ever this year for there spot...i would say the pressure will be on jamar...wit more experienced spencer and hopefully an injury free meesen chasing for the number 1 ruck spot...some healthy comp never hurt anyone

what about adding jack watts to your hypothetical?

is he playing in the midfield any time soon ?

My hypothesis is particular to the look and shape of it ( the midfield )

Any corelation to the Cats is pointless. My point is that the midfield, OUR midfield will take on a completely different look next year. A lot quicker and skilled. The decision making ought to take a couple of big strides upwards.

You do make a good point re rucking. ..almost a competition with one as to who gets the lollies there. and thats a healthy thing.
