we definately need a quality example for our young mids to follow and some real support for jones, viney and Sylvia, offer Thompson a 3 year deal and see what he says?
We would be stupid not to make a phone call, who cares what the chances are we should be exploring any possible options to make the most informed decision, especially in this case when a quality player is involved, if he is interested in coming home i'm sure our recruiting team will work as hard as possible to work out the best possible deal for both parties.
All very possible imo, Sheil would be the toughest to get, Adams i'd say we're a fair chance with Roosy on board, Adams and Gaff would be nice, would compliment each other very well, reckon pick 10 would be enough to get Gaff?
I reckon we should target:
Teir 1, one player from
Dale Thomas
Scott Thompson
Brad Sewell
Luke Shuey
Rory Sloane
Scott Selwood
Taylor Adams
teir 2- at least 2 of
Patrick Karnezis
Anthony Miles
Levi Greenwood
Ben Sinclair
Viv Michie
Watch our members, sponsors and overall attractiveness as a club go BOOM under Roos and you will change your mind, would be willing to bet we get 40k members in 2014, i for one am upgrading my membership for next year because of it
Puzzling is abit harsh, i think there were 18 recruiters that rated Toumpas as a top 3 pick, Wines was a top 10 pick, was he the right pick for the mfc? possibly not, Wines and Viney would have set up the engine room for the next decade, but we have Toumpas and he has shown good signs that he will be a quality player for us, so i'm not too unhappy
it's not impossible that at some point we might lure Wines back anyway.
Scott Selwood isn't worth pick 2 and that's what WCE will ask for him, people get seduced by the fact he is a Selwood and don't really look at his football ability,
good player but not worth pick 2, pick 10-15 would be a different story, he is no better than Wellingham and he was deemed to be worth pick 18
pick 2 for Selwood and pick 7 you might be onto something.
Best young footballer in Australia for mine, if we get pick 1 we should throw it on the table and ask for fyfe, it won't happen but at least give them something to think about
