After all our priority draft picks, rebuilding, trading free agents and letting go a variety of first round picks, how many of our current list is up to AFL standard? Let me list them 1-10 on current performance, and 1-10 in three years time. Let's first talk about the 22 who played on Sunday Sylvia. 6 9 Gillies. 3 3 Dunn. 6 7 Watts. 6 10 Frawley. 7 9 Nicholson. 4 4 Viney. 7 10 Grimes. 6 9 Toumpas. 3 9 Roden. 3 3 Sellar. 5 6 Howe. 7 9 Pederson. 4 5 Clark. 8 9 Byrne. 4 0 Jamar. 6 0 N. Jones. 8 8 M. Jones. 4 6 Mckenzie. 4 4 Tapscott. 4 7 Bleese. 6 8 Garland 5 8 If we add those who missed: Trengove. 4 9 Dawes. 6 6 Hogan. 0 10 Gawn. 4 9 Spencer. 3 4 Terlich. 6 8 Jetta. 5 8 Tom MacDonald 6 8 James Strauss 4 6 Josh Tynan 3 5 Joel MCDonald 6 0 Michael Evans 3 5 Dom Barry 3 7 Dean Kent 5 8 Arron Davey 6 0 Troy Davis 4 0 Rory Taggart 4 7 Rohan Bail 5 5 Jack Fitz 4 8 Of those who have been traded or let go and have gone to other clubs, these are how i would catagorise them: Brent Maloney 8 8 Jarad Rivers 8 8 Jordon Gysberts 5 7 Stefan Martin 7 8 Jamie Bennell 4 7 Carl Morton 4 8 On this basis, we have 36% of the players who played last saturday were below AFL standard, and of our total list 43% of players are below AFL standard. of the overall list,on this basis we don't have any elite (9 or 10) player but by 2016, of the players currently playing I predict over 20% will be elite. This means the list currently is heading for the wooden spoon this year and in three years time we will be mid list knocking on the 8. Are we all satisfied with this situation??
