3 times premiership coach and you have to respect that but anyone who thinks Carlton can win a flag without any serious key position players is kidding themselves, I see them as a CHB, CHF and FF away from being a top 4 side, How he didn't chase those key posts hard baffles me, Darcy Gardiner, Daniel Mcstay were both available during the draft at their pick and they didn't take either.

They have finished 3rd and 4th in our B&F coming from late picks, I am very happy with that, Clisby, Kent, and Kennedy-harris already show something pretty good

They aren't going to rush the succession plan, PJ isn't stupid, they will wait til they have the right guy, until that happens Roosy will stay on.

Sorry for the missing Poll options, I felt we kinda knew what Vince and Cross would provide so they're hardly a find, and Riley is going to be out for a while yet so not sure he will get the chance to play too much senior footy.

the recruiters who selected Toumpas haven't missed a beat anywhere else, Terlich, Hogan, Clisby, Tyson, Salem, Kennedy-Harris, Georgiou Matt Jones Pretty decent track record, I am going to back Jimmy to become a very good player for us and not concern myself with a Port Adelaide player.

I reckon he will, impressive pre season form, Roos admitted he reckons he is AFL ready, and he brings us another multiple goal scoring option which is extremely important for us going into this game.

I reckon it's Jay Kennedy-Harris, He has speed, Skills, leadership qualities, he brings a spark and looks like he has a huge amount of upside I liken him to Allen Christenson, or Mathew Stokes

Might be seeing if he can get next years pay to go.

I actually want to revise mine, Collingwood and Carlton look seriously ordinary, I can't see either getting anywhere near the top 8

Has Mitch been placed on the long term injury list?

I am not by any stretch writing Toumpas off but last year did our entire team have 19 contested touches all together, Wines is a fighter and a half.

James Frawley Tom Mcdonald Lynden Dunn Jack Grimes Alexis Georgiou Jack Trengove Dom Tyson Bernie Vince Dean Terlich Jack Watts Cam Pederson Jay Kennedy-Harris Max Gawn Jack Fitzpatrick Jeremy Howe Jake Spencer Nathan Jones Daniel Cross Jimmy Toumpas Viv Michie Sam Blease Matt Jones

True but i mean you could copy and paste the text somewhere else, the idea was nice.

I reckon Frawley, Garland and Georgiou can hold up as a solid backline, Mcdonald and Garland could interchange as the forward option, i believe both have the capacity to play either end

you could copy the positive messages and link it to his twitter? he might like that he has so much support

probably fair enough, i certainly see him playing abit of seniors for them this year though.

I have been told by a Saints supporter who attends trainings and stuff that Gilbert is a long show and Fisher is very underdone and without our big gun forwards he doubts they will risk him, massive hole in a side isn't it, Hayes, Dal Santo, Montagna, Wellar, Stevens, Goddard, that's a very good AFL midfield not playing

Hayes, Steven, Fisher, Shcnieder, Montagna, Wellar, gilbert, Longer, so their midfield is hampered pretty severely, Longer doesn't help their ruck stocks, Gilbert and Fisher missing from their defence

Stuies thread was a great idea and never should have been merged with a thread about offloading Mitch because he is injured, what's worse is that people who claim to be demon supporters couldn't embrace the chance to say something positive and vent on another thread, i mean it really isn't that complicated.

I still fully believe a year in the forward line and Watts could snag us a good amount of goals, he lacks the physicality to be a mid

Exactly, we are light on for tall forwards but tall backs just now we are doing alright, i reckon Roosy would be considering that.

It would have been pretty cool to keep the thread positive and then link it to Mitch's twitter or something

It will be really interesting when Garland is back, can Garland, Frawley, Mcdonald, Georgiou, Grimes, Terlich and Dunn all work together, or does a Garland or a Dunn potentially go forward? Mcdonald was also drafted as a CHF

I'd go down a slightly different path we need to be careful with our money because i believe Nathan Jones, jeremy Howe, Jack Trengove, Jesse Hogan and Colin Garland are all out of contract at the end of 2015, and this year James Frawley, Lynden Dunn and Tom Mcdonald are, we wouldn't want to lose any more than 1 of that group imo Roos replacement i reckon they will have a fair idea of who that's going to be by now

I'd wait and see what happens with his leave to get a better sense of where the situation is heading, he may yet come back fit and firing and play in the second half of the year.
