Grandson of a gun 276 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Given many of us believe that our premiership window will open about 2013 pick what you think our team will look like come round 1 and no injuries. Obviously each will have their own opinions but i believe the core will look something like this: B Bail Warnock Morton HB Grimes Frawley Moloney C Blease Scully Davey HF Tapscott Watts Sylvia F Jurrah Bate Bennell Fol Jamar Trengove Gysberts Int Fitzpatrick Strauss Wonaeamirri Jones Pushing for selection: Gawn, Jetta, Garland, Macdonald, McKenzie, Retired: Green, McDonald, Bruce Unknowns include draft pick this year and likely father son in Viney in 2011 or 2012. .......just a little firm thinking about that sort of team.
Eth 4 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 B Cheney Warnock Strauss HB Grimes Frawley Davey C Morton Trengove Viney HF Tapscott Fitzpatrick Watts F Jurrah Petterd Garland Fol Jamar Scully Gysberts Int Sylvia Moloney McKenzie Jones Bate Blease Bail Green won't have retired by then. He'll be in there. Edited in Petterd + extended bench

Harrisonrules 273 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 So very few rate Morton. Thank goodness you guys aren't picking the team
sylvinator 96 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 So very few rate Morton. Thank goodness you guys aren't picking the team Agree 100%. Severely underated on this site. Imo, of all the players on our list, he has the greatest scope to be an absolute superstar of the game. If he develops his body, and maintains his ability, i foresee Goddard-esk ability. With his height (194cm) and overhead marking, he could even potentially be a CHF. And he plays extremely well all the time, people just refuse to give him credit sometimes
MadAsHell 4,217 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 So very few rate Morton. Thank goodness you guys aren't picking the team Had him in my team, not sure why so few leave him out.
Eth 4 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 So very few rate Morton. Thank goodness you guys aren't picking the team He's in the wing on mine, that's where I feel he plays best
pm24 451 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 It's worth remembering that warnock is already 26 years old and will be 29 by the time 2013 comes around. Who knows if he'll still be performing at his current level in 3 years time. If he is, then i'd say he's got to still be in the back line to give us 3 tall backmen. I'm going to assume that Warnock remains in our top 22 in my team: B: Bartram Warnock Garland HB: Strauss Frawley Grimes C: Moloney Morton Trengove HF: Davey Watts Sylvia F: Petterd Bate Jurrah Fol: Jamar Gysberts Scully Int: Fitzpatrick, Tapscott, Blease, Green Players i want to include, but not sure where they fit: McKenzie, Gawn, Jetta, Bail, Aussie, Bennell, Jones. Some of the guys i hope will be in our top 22 by then are Fitzpatrick (to provide the 2nd tall marking forward), Aussie (he provides us with so much spark and forward pressure when healthy), McKenzie (he's fantastic but where do you fit him in). The thing i found with this exercise is that its so bloody hard because i could also think of lineups where half the guys i metioned who wouldn't be in the top 22 could equally be in the team. Talk about have plenty of riches in terms of talent. Then we add Jack Viney, and potentially some more key position prospects from this draft (there's quite a few good forwards this year) and the dilemma gets even tougher. Edit: added fitzpatrick into the top 22 as the 2nd ruck man.
Guest DeesPower Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Based on what we know now of course this would be my team. I am also assuming by then the AFL will have brought in "Reserves" ie those players who can replace injured players during the game but cannot act as inter-change until the replacement is made. Given that most teams run injured players this means teams will effectively be 26 person teams, a good move IMO. B Viney Warnock Morton HB Davey Frawley Moloney C Blease Gysberts Grimes HF Tapscott Watts Petterd F Jurrah Fitzpatrick Bate Fol Jamar Trengove Scully Int Gawn Green Jones Sylvia Reserves: Wonaeamirri Strauss Garland McKenzie Viney (new) NOT A HALF BAD TEAM INCIDENTLY Of the current list playing regularly, the following miss out: Bruce, McDonald (Retired) Rivers Dunn(GWS) Miller Bail(GC) Bartrum, Jetta, Bennell. Cheney, Maric, Martin (still on list) Bell Johnson Meesem Newton MacDonald Spencer Macnamara Hughes(delisted) Also, would not be surprised if Demons went after Alwyn Davey in the off season for early picks (he will be out of contract). Would be a brilliant acquisition for us in my opinion. Fits in perfectly to our setup. I also would not be surprised if we tried to trade for an established Full Forward.
hrob 2 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 B Rivers, Warnock, Strauss HBGrimes (vc), Frawley, Garland C Blease, Moloney ©, Davey HFSylvia, Morton, Tapscott F Jurrah, Watts, Bennel/ Wona/ Jetta Fol Jamar, Scully, Trengove Int Gawn, Gysberts, Bate, Mckenzie Reserves Bartram, Bail, Fitzpatrick, viney (although will probably be in the side jst didnt know who to swap him with)
Grandson of a gun 276 Posted June 18, 2010 Author Posted June 18, 2010 So very few rate Morton. Thank goodness you guys aren't picking the team I agree. He will add bulk and he is one of those players who has poise and time no matter the situation. He will be the swingman, capable of playing anywhere. Also, would not be surprised if Demons went after Alwyn Davey in the off season for early picks (he will be out of contract). Would be a brilliant acquisition for us in my opinion. Fits in perfectly to our setup. I also would not be surprised if we tried to trade for an established Full Forward. Nope. Please no. no. Sorry DP but the last thing we need is another small bloke. Think long term. What do we have a heap of (smalls and mediums), what do we desperately need TALLS. (Especially given Viney will be a father son and he is apparently a very talented on baller). Yes we have Gawn and Fitzpatrick in the wings but that is it. Still not convinced re Spencer. Keep the early pick. Trade Miller (& get compo for Petterd if he wants to go) to GC17 for another first round pick and use them both on big blokes. Fill the list out with some size and strength. That is what we desperately need.
Nasher 33,651 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Here's why I think threads like this are silly.
DirtyDees DDC 190 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 So very few rate Morton. Thank goodness you guys aren't picking the team Is he purely an outside player? He does a great job as a tall wingman or linkman who can find space and set himself up as a free target for our defenders. I just don't see him win enough contested possessions at this stage.
Reality Bus 17 Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Here's why I think threads like this are silly. stellar bump there nasher
Felix 92 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 Here's why I think threads like this are silly. lol, no mention of Jamar at all in that thread!
Lil_red_fire_engine 11,376 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 lol, no mention of Jamar at all in that thread! Still Jamar aside, Sylvinators team is not far off.
sylvinator 96 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 lol, no mention of Jamar at all in that thread! There is a difference between the old thread that was predicting the 2010 team and this thread. Firstly, 3-4 years ago we had plenty of ageing guys- Carrol, Whelan, Wheatley, Robbo etc. It was pretty unlikely those guys would still be playing in 2009/10, but nobody was sure. However in 2010, an enourmous proportion of our starting 18 are really young and still getting better, so people can say with relative confidence that Scully, Trenners, McKenzie, Watts, Jurrah etc will all be in our 2013 team. Secondly, the next 2 years of drafting is going to be a huge struggle. We'll get 1 good pick at the end of this year (pick 12 probably) and one good pick the year after (pick 16 probably), and the rest of our picks will be in the 40+ range where it is a lottery. We will not be having enourmous amounts of new talent coming through over the next 2 years (except Viney?) so most of our 2013 team will come from our current crop of talent. So we don't have to be fortune tellers as much.
Eth 4 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 Still Jamar aside, Sylvinators team is not far off. Yep, it's just missing Junior, Trengove, Scully, Gysberts, Watts, Strauss, Tapscott, Blease, Fitzpatrick, Gawn, McKenzie, Jurrah, Wonna, Bennell and Jetta.
sylvinator 96 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 Yep, it's just missing Junior, Trengove, Scully, Gysberts, Strauss, Tapscott, Blease, Fitzpatrick, Gawn... Firstly, I didn't realise that Strauss, Tapscott, Blease, Fitzpatrick and Gawn were in our starting 22 atm. Gysberts isn't in our best 22 either YET (at the moment he's just being blooded). I think most people thought captain JMcdonald would be retired by 34, so reasonable prediction at the time. Scully and Trengove are the ones who are in the 2010 best 22 which I missed, obviously impossible to predict that. Considering the turnover of our list over those 3 years, and Mclean and Buckley playing for different AFL clubs, it wasn't a terrible effort

Good job anyway on that guess, I know it's impossible to pick the draftees
sylvinator 96 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 Bartram Warnock Garland Strauss Frawley Davey Blease Scully Gysberts Tapscott Watts Trengove Petterd Green Jurrah Foll: Jamar Grimes Sylvia Int: Moloney Jetta Jones Bail Anyways, my 2013 team prediction is pretty much exactly the same as Green Machine's prediction except: IN: Morton, McKenzie, Bate, OUT: Bail (not 100% convinced yet), Jetta (not 100% convinced yet), Blease (not 100% convinced yet) I wouldn't be totally surprised if Bartram and Jones were replaced by more skillful better AFL players--- maybe Bennel, or even Viney or one of our draft picks over the next 2 years?
Disco Demons 92 Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 i would like to see morton and watts as dual CHF....they should be mobile enough...drop one of the flankers into defence...
