NikkiNoo asking my opinion on Hinge got me thinking about our list in five years. I'm sure this thread has been done a hundred times, but I can't remember the last time.
I'm only going from our list in 2007. I think this will be our best 22 in 2012, not including any new draftees or trades (bar one, very, very sneaky one). Of course its completely unrealistic, so don't start me up on that. I know there will be disappointments and some of the "stars" will end up delistees, but I'm interested to see other people's lists. Hopefully it can show where everyone is thinking the club is/should be going.
B: Stevens Rutten Johncock
HB: Mattner Bock Pfeiffer
C: MacKay Van Berlo Douglas
HF: Reilly Sellar Hentschel
F: Archard Tippett Porplyzia
R: Meesen Thompson Knights
IC: Griffin McIntyre Vince Gibbs
Still on the list:
Maric - He’ll definitely be retained as every club needs 3 ready ruckmen. I do love the idea of Griffin playing forward full time because he looks so much more comfortable there. 3 ruckmen in the 22 would be a nightmare to match up on if we could work it right. But perhaps that is unrealistic, especially considering Tippett would be down there as well.
McGregor - I think if he’s still on the list, he’ll be in our first 22, if not, he would have retired/pushed, but I can’t decide.
I’ve been harsh with my retirements to make some choices easier.
Retired (or pushed out): Bassett, Biglands, Bode, Burton, Doughty (the young fella retires at the tender age of 22), Edwards, Goodwin, Hudson (I'd love the big fella to still be battling on!), Massie (possible delistee, maybe even still on the list, would be 31/32), McLeod, Perrie, Ricciuto, Shirley (probably also still playing, but probably in his last year, a player that is as hard as him often has a lot of injury problems later - like Roo), Torney, Welsh
Delisted: Campbell, Gill, Hinge, Jericho
