If you could draft three players...

[rustyg70]

Mine would be:
1; Lance "Buddy" Franklin. Freak.
2; Shane Mumford. What we need. Big,aggresive ruckman.
3; Luke Hodge. Leadership and one of the most under rated players in the league.

Thoughts...

 

[ash84]

1. Buddy, most dangerous fwd in the game.
2. Mumford, ruckman with the most promising future.
3. Dustin Martin, prety much a gun already, hard at the ball, good kick and 10 years of footy ahead of him.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

1. Buddy
2. Mumford
3. Shuey

 

[Number 10]

Goldstein
Naitanui
Buddy

Nom nom nom

 

[mattys123]

1. Gary Ablett Jnr.
2. Chris Judd
3. Lance Franklin

With our side, we would be unbeatable for the next 4 years.

Judd and Ablett are still the best players in the game, and a Buddy and Cloke forward line would collect 130 + goals between them IMO.

Ablett Natanui O'Meara

 

[Ed D]

Ablett
Franklin
Naitanui

 

[SwanBet]

1. Natanui- We saw first hand the dominance he has over a game in the qualifying finals. From what i have seen is a big game player, is only going to get better.

2. Judd- Best inside midfielder in the comp, A key reason we lost the grand final was a lack of big bodied midifielders, Judd is a machine. Imagine Judd, Ball, Pendlebury, Swan... We wouldn't lose a clearance.

3. Franklin- Best forward in the game, him and cloke would be the best combination of all time. 120+ goals between them.

 

[Knightmare]

1. Nic Naitanui (Sets up our ruck division for a long time. Can play with Jolly and then when retired play the no.1 role. When he gets over niggling injuries will give dominant a new definition)
2. Lance Franklin (Because he has such a unique game could easily co-exist in the same forwardline with Cloke and Dawes)
3. Gary Ablett (Could have gone for Joel Selwood but would still take Ablett. Best player in the league and just so dominant. Think he will last well beyond 30 making his age irrelevant)

Draft or trade for?

Drafting:

O'Meara
Crouch
Witts

 

[otfc42]

Mine would be:
3; Luke Hodge. Leadership and one of the most under rated players in the league.

C'mon......Hodge underrated..? By who..?

Come on mate, the question is which three players would you want at Collingwood, not what does Carlton's midfield consist of.

 

[Soul_Pie]

Franklin, Ablett Mumford

Nothing would stop us.

Imagine Franklin and Cloke in the same forward line.

 

[Scodog10]

1. Mumford
2. Ablett
3. Selwood

And to think Geelong had this for most of the 2009 season.....

 

[Magnus the Magpie]

1. N. Buckley
2. P. Daicos
3. D. Millane

About as much chance of having these three blokes turn out for us as any of the others mentioned in this thread!

Hard to argue against the merits of most of those mentioned though. Maybe the best big-bodied, mobile defender going around? Not sure who - Glass perhaps but he's getting on a bit. Maybe, with Reid, Brown and Keefe, we have the future covered here(?)

Lance Franklin
Shane Mumford

[MarkT2]

Franklin, Natanui, J Selwood. All with plenty of footy ahead of them.

Threads like this are entirely pointless unless you also name the players you will delist to make salary cap room for them. And unless you want to get rid of pendlebury cloke or swan, you'll probably have to chop about eight senior players, maybe more.

Yes of course, because the salary cap is the only thing stopping us getting any of the players mentioned in this thread.

It's a light hearted thread, no one actually thinks it's going to happen. It's more a discussion about our perceived weaknesses than anything.
