Worst List in the Comp for the Next few years

We really don't have any area covered off at all. Mids, backs, rucks, fwds. Lot of holes.
Yep totally agree. Gee that priority pick would have come in handy. With that we could have at least gone close to have covered off on one area.

If Tambling and Collins (and Hislop if we're really optimistic) cement spots in the midfield we might be alright there. Deledio, Cotchin, Foley, Tambling, Collins, Hislop & Polo/Jackson as the tagger has promise. Nothing else though.

i would think a forward line based around jack, post (or butcher), morton and nahas shows promise.
a defense based round rance, thursfield, post (if we get butcher), moore and edwards shows promise.
rucks based around vickery and browne (and maybe graham :-\) shows promise.
a bit of promise there. promise, not performance. yet. hopefully.

Can't do that at his stage Disco with our mids.

Deledio (if he signs on, I think he will), Cotchin (if his body holds up, I think it will) Foley (if his body holds up, I think it will), Tambling (Can he stay at a top level, maybe) Collins (Can he take the next step, maybe) Hislop, Polo, Jackson (Too unskilled moved along).

Nothing in cement. We are a long way off in the mids. Hope we add to that bunch over the next two-three years.

Would be brilliant if Collins comes on. His development is crucial.

Have been disappointed in Connors. Thought both he and Edwards would be added to that group. Hasn't happened yet.

Yeah, definitely not set in stone and we need to continually add more pieces but at least there is some promise and real quality there. You can't say the same for any other area unfortunately.

Yeah, he is something we don't have. A goal kicking mid who has time with the ball in his hands.

Speaking of Connors where is he at with his football? Has he been playing at Coburg?

thats been the trouble right thru nothing in cement.

we have 15 talls on the list but imo the reality is we only have about 8 worth moving forward with. and most of those 8 are development types with no guarantees.

to get the quality we need in the big man dept we could well try another 16 talls on top of those 8. its the nature of the beast. because of this there is no short term solution we are yrs away. we have to recognise we are yrs away. otherwise the short cuts will continue to come thick and fast.
 
Fold the club

Small, skinny, underskilled, no talent, bunch of hacks. We have NO hope for the future, none....

At least half if not more of the whole list has to go over the next 2-3 years. Good luck trying to get anyone decent with the GC/WS raping the draft. :rofl :rofl


Bowden (gone)
Coughlan (gone)
Johnson (gone)
Brown (gone)
Polo
Jackson
McGuane
Moore
JON
Pattison
Graham
Thomson
Hislop
Hughes
King
McMahon
Pettifer
Polak
Raines
Richo
Schulz
Simmonds
Tuck
White
Silvester




None of them will EVER be involved in a premiership side. Just end the pain.

not slightly over-reacting are you?

We already hold the record for most years in a row without finals. That will continue for many years to come. We are a rabble.
