2020 and beyond

[emilybrown]

I haven't posted on here before but I do read here and there.
So I am sorry if this has been done before so just politely tell me and I shall keep to myself again haha.
I love to see everyone's opinions about all things Melbourne.

Few things, Do you believe anyone of these guys will be in our next premiership team if we were to make it in the next 5 years or so? :
Dawes, Chris 27yr 6mth
Garland, Colin 27yr 7mth
Garlett, Jeff 1 26yr 4mth
Grimes, Jack 26yr 7mth
Jones, Nathan 27yr 10mth

I have left out Vince, Harry O, Jetta (still can make it but maybe pushed out?) Dunn as will be 33+ in age.
So my other point in this thread is what do YOU believe the team will look like with the current young list... Yes I know there will be good pick ups along the way with the Draft and Trade

Here's mine
B) White T.McDonald O.McDonald
HB) Melksham Frost Salem
W) Stretch Viney Hunt
HF) Kent Weideman Pretracca(rotating)
F) Harmes Hogan Neal-Bullen
R) Gawn Tyson Brayshaw

I) Oliver Bugg Hulett(can play) Vanders

Your turn

Hi Emily, more opinions is exactly what this board needs! Otherwise it's just the same old Muppets like myself bleating at each other. Welcome to the fray

In regards to your post, these things are nearly always impossible to project. I once posted something similar a few years back and now 90% of those players are cleared off. All we can go off from is a player's previous year and how long they've had to prove themself. Of the ones you have mentioned I'd say Dawes and Grimes are in the most strife.

I hope Nate plays as long as Brent Harvey and leaves with at least one premiership. It's the least he deserves.

Seriously, go for your life.

I like your predictions - only reservation is that I might find a spot for Trengove. That could be sentiment as opposed to sense. And I love to see Jones as a long-termer who defies odds to be awarded with multiple flags. Glad you have Stretchy in there. I have a feeling about him.

 

[schmuttt]

Jones perhaps, Garlett will play AFL as long as he retains his speed. The others won't play past 2020.

The optimism is nice but considering we haven't raised a flag in 61 years and their are now 17 other sides aiming for the same thing this is pointless
To have petracca Weideman and Oliver in the side shows how far away we are
Both hawthorn and Geelong got premierships about 6-8 years after there main drafts and they were both extremely young premiership sides who had dynasties
Fair chance our window won't open till atleast 2020 though I think Roosy has been trying to accelerate this with the additions of Frost, Tyspn, Garlett, melksham etc and all those blokes in their prime

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Jones will still be around, Vince I reckon ought to have the legs given he's only actually been working hard for two years.

We won't even be near contention until Viney, Tyson, Brayshaw, Petracca, Salem, and Oliver have 500 or 600 games between them IMO. It's a while away.
