Did I force you to participate in this thread?
"Assuming all were fit and available" was a fairly obvious mandate, I am well aware of Egan's injury, and N.Ablett's possible retirement, but the point of the thread was to get folks 'ideal' teams according to their opinions based on the list as it stands now, again assuming all were fit and available
I am sure that nobody forced you to respond to this thread, if you think it is a waste of time, fair enough- but no need to be negative and try to ruin it for those who are interested and want to participate.

MY opinion is this is a dumb thread for December, a few weeks/even days after draft time...but hey I didnt make a big deal out of it...till you did. So you wear it then. Dont blame me. Why not try this after a scratch match or something...a relevant guide at least.
You listed the 44 guys on the senior list. Thanks. We havent seen 9 of the guys in Geelong jumpers yet...and you have them up for selection. You go for it. Please tell me...why did you pick them in their given positions...what are you basing it on? What have you seen them do that has us employing them this way at senior level?
And at the moment there's a less than 10% chance Nab and Egan will line up together round 1...and thats being generous. Soon as you take 2 guys out of a side...it changes where everyone lines up...not just in the firsts but in the seconds as well. So as I said its a pointless exercise other than naming the 44 guys on the list.
You know last time I checked this is still a football forum about a professional national code and some of us post accordingly...its not Alice in Wonderland or the under 8s to me. Is that being negative or just exactly how I feel about it. When you start naming people in a side...my assumption is you intend to run it out as a football team. My simple question to you is...why?...based on what exactly?
The simple point here is...if you dont want people giving their opinions...dont ask for them in the first place? IF on the other hand you just want people to agree with you all day...why not mention that in the opening post...and I wouldnt have given my objective and truthful view.
here it is..."This thread is for everyone who merely agrees with me and the idea/concept of picking players for positions on a football field before we have even seen them play 1 minute of footy"...
great stuff...
