I'm sure I've missed something/someone here, but let's start the conversation. Without doubt an improvement.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

I think it is time for a couple of high draft picks and others who have been in the system for 2-5 years to have stand out years. There is no excuse now under Stone and co.

In varying degrees, this includes Toumpas, Viney, Salem, Kent, JKH, Hogan, Watts, Howe, and even Tyson to take it to yet another level. At least 4 or 5 of these guys need have big breakout years IMO.

I've forgotten what they actually are?

Who has had one for us?

You could argue Tyson, but he was always good i feel, but hampered by injury.

Kent, to an extent at the end. Jetta, showed he wasn't complete poo. Hmmmm.

Time for, Watts and co. to "stand out".

[Roost It 1,434]

2015 Comes down to whether Viney, Tyson, Salem, Hogan, Watts, Howe, Jones, Vince can all improve again and play the full year. We are still very thin for high end talent and need these guys to really stand up. Can't see us finishing out of the bottom 3 which should give us currency for a free agent next year and a solid draft pick. The next 2 drafts are crucial. If we don't get 2 200 game A graders with picks 2 and 3 this year we're screwed. We simply don't have enough talent.

Until the likes of McKenzie, Terlich, Jones, Evans, Grimes and co are off the list we will struggle to beat any decent in form opposition.

Not for you Clint, don't worry.

I agree with most of your 22, but reckon one of Fitz or Pederson will be on the bench in place of Michie. Jamar is too old to play 100% game time. I also reckon by round 11 2015 Jamar will have lost his spot to Gawn.

What this does show is that we need to build quality midfield depth for at least the next 2 seasons.

Honestly?

I think the team on paper is weaker now than it was 12 months ago. Didn't think that was possible.

Of course, if you include a fit Clark.

In reality, it's just Chip the forward out and Lumumba, Garlett and Frost in.

And Hogan (effectively).

[jackaub 1,402]

I Agree with you Re demon I seee absolutely no improvement unles Watts Toump Grimes and Co all step up

[Qwerty30 196]

Our biggest win from the draft were pick 3 for Frawley.

The other win would be to have Hogan fit and firing for 22 games.

[Deecisive 1,709]

I expect Colin Sylvia to have a break out year.

Hmmm given his performance so far he may end up like brock without a club...

Sylvia signed a 3 year contract so Freo are stuck with him for another 2 seasons.

Have to agree with that assessment.

It was said to be a three year project to get these guys up to fitness.

Now is time to produce.

Good depth of ball winning mids.

Good spread of goalkickers.

Grimes is the big out. Really needs to improve his kicking. Suspect he will be in Roosy's best 22.
