Brilliant - I needed a good laugh to start the day. We are prone to take ourselves too seriously at this time of year.Got a mate at the club who basically has filled me in on a couple things. Apparently we are quite happy with our list progression and hope that a few decent top ups will get us over the line in 2018. Pick 13 is definitely on the table and we could be trading it for two second rounders. This would give us the ability to get fasolo, conca and watts with our three second rounders. Gaff is as good as gone to the hawks apparently for hartung/Strating and a pick/picks in 2018 draft. We are also hoping to get ahchee with our third and fourth rounder.
As far as the rookie list goes we are quite keen on Ben Kennedy (former demon), Jansen (former lion), and josh Cowan from geelong. They are all experienced and fill a need.
Going by his info our best 22 next year could be:
Hurn, eMac, welling ham
Yeo, gov , duggan
Masten redden hartung
Vardy shuey shred
Watts darling B Kennedy
Fasolo JJK cripps
Inter: conca Cowan Jansen barrass
Quite an exciting team I think. The bonus is that we haven't gone too far the other way. Our focus next year will be the players intent and putting in s four quarter effort.
I asked my mate about Tim Kelly and he said the club could rookie him if he's still available but the club are aware that the gap between afl and wafl is big so his game might not translate. Same pretty much goes for liam Ryan
If we do keep pick 13 we are heavily into naughton Balta or Stephenson if they are available. The club rates balta in particular very highly
So yeah some super exciting times coming up for our club
