Forward structure- next year

[The_Young_Gun]

Hmmm..."all the attributes...." Excellent assessment for the entire 5 minutes he has played for the bombers. Some people are so delusional.

BTW I looked up familier and it wasn't in the dictonary? Unless familier is latin for "has done nothing so far but may some day"

aughhhhhhhhhhhh (Rubbing eyes)

Just read the whole damn thread before posting pointless crap again.

It's Latin for better than Reid, Rusling and Rocca

LOL Thank God an Essendon support that understands Latin.

HF - McPhee, Lucas, Monfries
FF - Davey, Lloyd, Neagle
i/c - Jetta

i can't believe the hype over Gumbleton.
the kid will only be 20yr old next year, entering his 3rd season, having only played 5 games to date.
stop putting unrealistic 09 expectations on the lad. if he can play 10-15 games and average 1 goal per game, he will have made a significant step.
i think Neagle is closer to selection. he will be a year older, and is more suitable to play as the 3rd tall forward-pocket.
but Lloyd/Lucas/Neagle is enough talls for me.

Is Lovett definitely gone? Not one mention of him. Surely our best small forward if he is to stay (although they seemed to have been trying to get him into midfield). Davey, Jetta also good, but still small bodied and often injured.

On that point, the whole list looks small. There are very few big, strong bodies there after Hille, Lloyd, Lucas, McFee & Neagle. Ryder & Gumbleton are skinny and will take a few more years to fill out, Laycock easily pushed aside. The rest? Dempsey, Davey, Monfries, Jetta, Winderlich (the balsa wood boy), Welsh, McVeigh, Lovett, Lonergan, Houli, etc are all fabulous players but are all small and none of them look they can beef up much more. McVeigh maybe is already taking on more physical responsibility than his frame can handle.

Need to get some strength into Myers, Pears, Daniher now, and draft for players with the potential to become key position players in the not too distant future.

(excluded Lovett because there's a strong chance he'll be traded)

Winner, or uictor, depending on which language you'd prefer.
