personally i dont think we have the capacity this year to win more than 8 games.

But it would be a massive improvement and im expecting a massive improvement.

If we draft Cross, he'll be in our best 21 each week in 2014.

If he's not, why would we draft him?

easily, he'd probably be our current 2nd best midfielder behind Jones?

Yes, Scott Thompson is a gun. He played every game for the Crows this year (unless you want to count their bye) and didn't get dropped: not sure where you pulled that from. He was also playing most of the year with groin issues. You obviously have a loose interpretation of 'gun'.

Actually, yes you are right. he was a late in for one them and got subbed 3 times, my mistake.

An absolute gun that was dropped to the SANFL this year and has stagnated.

Adelaide were in complete turmoil this year. Do you count Scott Thompson as a gun? because he also got dropped this year.

He is a gun and if you're keen on challenging me on this first watch some Adelaide games and watch him play and than come back and tell me that "he isnt a gun"

F: Jesse Hogan Mitch Clark Dean Kent

FOLL: Max Gawn Nathan Jones Dom Tyson

BENCH: Bernie Vince Daniel Cross (hopefully) Matt Jones

SUB: Michael Evans

EMERG: Daniel Nicholson Luke Tapscott Lynden Dunn

Pretty good young list coming through right there..

remember we still have pick 9 even with that team

**** Michie might get a game but has to show abit before that, i think thats a fair statement

Mackay? Seriously? Keep it for the draft.

Mackay is an absolute gun.

Better than Vince and Younger

should we look at trading pick 9?

maybe someone like Mckay? another dashing midfielder?

Buntine?

or keep it for the draft?

wouldnt mind Matt Crouch

VINCE IS A DEMON!
So just pick 9 now!

What would you like to see with those two picks?

Personally i'd like to a Vince for pick 23

and either look to trade pick 9 for another established midfielder or put the faith into the draft?

If in the draft, who do you reckon we should look at?

when we have a player averaging over 90 in Dreamteam than they can be rated a 7+.

Jones is a clear cut 6 who just works hard

Would be happy with One of Buntine or Shiel

Bugg maybe not.

Buntine will be a jet and shiel is already a jet

The club will be able to attract talent when we look like a club that actually has talent.

When performances improve, everything around us will seem to be more attractive, it's as simple as that

I'd like to see that!

only if the deal involved someone good rather than some more Cam Pederson's

would be an amazing pick up, especially if we could snare him for pick 21.

would love to see a trade like:

Pick 2, Pick 21 and 5th round pick for Sloane, Vince and there third round.

for a three way trade involving our pick 2, 21

and We get Dom Tyson and Vince

some how dont think he is going end up being a Melbourne player

N Jones 9

Trengove 6

Grimes 6

Viney 8-> 9

Mckenzie 5

Evans 4

Bail 3

Kent 5-> 6

Toumpas 5-> 6

M Jones 6

Barry 3-> 5

I have considered how some youngsters may come on. I have been tough on Grimes abd Trengove as I demand more.

This is too hard to do as players like Kent, Toumpas, M Jones, Barry, Evans and Grimes either havent played enough or dont really play all that much midfield.

This time next year will be easier to do as i feel for the first time in ages our Team will have structures

i love this guys posts!

Not only is Watts likely on the wing, but Clark and Dawes are yet to be seen in the same line-up and this may not change, allowing Fitpatrick to get more than the occassional game, during the extensive period during which they seem to be injured. Maybe we could draft Boyd if we get a priority pick and send Clark to the backline, be kind of nice to have the two tops young forwards in our team (as it seems to have worked for Hawthorn)?

are you kidding me.

Clark and Dawes will be always played over Fitzpatrick.

No matter what

In reference to the person that one visit isnt worth that much.

I'd like to remind you that Colin Sylvia does this is in his spare time, he visits hospitals.

Colin is very big of his charity and finds it valuable

i'd honestly love both.

But i'd rather Martin at the moment..

Port Adelaide are the perfect example of the confidence factor

Garland. Frawley. Conca

D.Thomas. McDonald Grimes

D. Martin. Sloane. T.Adams

Betts. Franklin. Watts

Clark. Hogan. Dawes

Jolly. Swallow Jones

Trengove Howe Sylvia Blease

so basically trade for a whole new team?

9 new players? LOL

OK so what pick would Watts have gone at if we didn't take him? What about Cale Morton? They went exactly where they were supposed to it had nothing to do with our selection process. That's a simple fact that I have mentioned at least 50 times over the years and not one of you blokes has ever even tried refuting it cos it is irrefutable. You can't blame our recruitment it is another failure of logic.

Players like Morton showed real promise.

All these high picks have potential to absolutely dominate in the AFL, yet they arent developed properly.

It's the lack of resources and developing potential that we have had, not bad picks.

Thomas is a free agent

Martin chooses us and walks to the pre season draft

pick 2 to GWS for Adams and pick 10

the lure of coming home convinces Sloane to declare an interest in being traded for us, we have Pick 10 and they need top 10 picks

it's a big ask but the thread title said best possible.

yeahh true, but how could we afford all those lads?

I'd love it though haha

I think these threads should be done in December after the drafts, trades and free agent periods.

so dont post

I'd be pretty happy with

Garland Frawley Clisby

Grimes Mcdonald toumpas

thomas Martin Sloane

Sylvia Dawes Watts

howe Hogan clark

jolly viney cross

adams trengove blease jent

how is it possible that we get Sloane, Martin, Thomas and Adams.

Not enough draft picks for Martin, Thomas and Adams and not enough salary cap room
