Well we're all in on the rebuild. Is it a quick one, 3 years, 5 years, 10??

I'm actually quite bullish on some youngsters we have already. My main caveat is our ability to develop and coach them properly.

The draft gives an opportunity to draft quality mids and runners/transition players. A few quality talls and finishers will also help. When I put our remainders into a second team it's obvious we have gaping holes in midfield.

Anyway my best 22 pre draft.

Broad Gibcus Blight
Smith Vlaustin (c) Tresize
Short Prestia (vc) Banks
Green Brown Mansell
Lefau Lynch (vc) Balta
Nank Ross Mcauliffe

Int Taranto Hopper Rioli Miller
The best thing is our youngsters will get plenty of game time, will be great to see Smith/Green/Macauliffe get their opportunity. And Ross will definitely get the opportunity as a mid that his faithful supporters have cried out for.

Think Seth plays in front of a few, and in line with your later post would love to see him get midfield time. Has a great tank and some speed, could use it around the ball. Can he get his hands on it enough in the midfield?

So if they do not make it it's a coaching & development issue? It's a bit hard to prove isn't it?

And if we lose every game but never see that combo you can argue Yze doesn't know what he's doing! Smart.

Vlastuin - Balta - Bauer
Brown - Gibcus - Smith. Like for like. Brown for Broad. Smith for Rioli and Bauer for Grimes. Good in theory anyway.

Campbell - Taranto - Trezise
Nankervis - McAuliffe - Prestia.

Rioli - Lefau/Kossie - Clarke.
Gray - Lynch - Mansell.

Broad - Hopper - Ross - Banks - HRS.

Post draft it is entirely different.
