I'd rather us chase Tomlinson and Jaksch. Much more likely to snare one or both, than getting Walker.

Can we be more "realistic" ...

In our defence, it does say 'ideal' (One's concept of perfection) off-season... But I do get your point.

My ideal offseason would include:

Priority pick

Mid first round

Staff

1. Mark Williams as Head Coach

2. Brett Kirk as Midfield Coach

3. Cameron Ling as a Youth Coach/Development Coach

4. Neil Craig remains in his current role and manages to make it work with Chocco

Trading

1. Jack Watts for Carlton's first round pick (9?)

2. David Myers (Essendon) for Sam Blease

3. Three-way trade (Geelong, GWS, Melbourne)

Melbourne:

Get - George Horlin-Smith + Taylor Adams

Lose - Pick 21 + Mark Jamar

GWS:

Get - Pick 16 + Mark Jamar

Lose - Taylor Adams + Sam Darley + Anthony Miles

Geelong:

Get - Pick 21 + Sam Darley + Anthony Miles

Lose - Pick 16 + George Horlin-Smith

Free Agents

1. Keep Colin Sylvia

2. Sign Daniel Cross

3. Sign Brad Sewell/Scott Thompson

4. Sign Joel Corey

Re-signings/Delistings

Re-sign

1. Rory Taggert

De-list

1. Troy Davis

2. Tom Couch

3. James Magner

4. David Rodan

5. Tom Gillies

6. Daniel Nicholson

7. James Sellar

8. Josh Tynan

9. Neville Jetta
