With all the conjecture about Scully signing.

I have put together a list of core players i believe will take us to our next premiership.

These are must sign keep on list players.

Some older players like moloney, sylvia,jones green ,davey and rivers are already long term stayers. ( so i didnt include them)

I tried a top 10 but ended up with 12.

See what you think?

Frawley

Grimes

Garland

Scully

Trengove

Gysberts

Mckenzie

Watts

Jurrah

Jamar

Gawn

Tapscott

... and Eliot Ness

Certainly an important 12 players that I am confident MFC can keep together. Frawley and Watts are certainly safe until 2013 and 14 respectively, and I am confident others' will stay put. The club is on the right path now...

where are you drawing your line? it seems very arbitrary. Gawn but no Cook. Jamar but no Sylvia.

and what do you mean 'untouchable' yes they will try and keep them all. Ods are they won't. what happens then? does the club explode?

Great idea for a thread.

I think you have hit the nail of the head with your 12 selections. Realistically, we need at least 8 of these players to reach that A-grade level. You would think some are a pretty safe bet (Scully, Trengove, Watts, Frawley, Grimes and Jamar). If we can get the likes of Gysberts, Tapscott and McKenzie up to that level, as well as an injury-free Garland, we're well on our way. No other player, especially from our younger brigade (under 24's) deserves a spot on that list at this stage.

It will then be up to the likes of Cook, Fitzpatrick, Martin, Blease, Strauss, Morton, Bennell, Maric, Nicholson, Evans, Howe and Petterd to get to good, solid B-Grade status.

add Viney to the list B)

These boy's are Monty's for that level IMO .

That's terrific then Fork. I'm not going the early crow on them, only becuase I don't want to be disappointed. I've said from day 1 that I doubted Gysberts, but he's fast proving me wrong! I have also been the driver of the Stef Martin bandwagon for many years, so you get some right, and not others!

Where I get a bit frustrated with supporters is when they start putting names in that potential A-grade list that don't have any right being there. That's not to say that they can't make it, it's just being realistic! Petterd is the classic example.
