Next Year's Side

[bluekidjoe]

So assuming we swap pick #24 for Warnock and keep pick six (cos thats all i think will happen for us over trade week), how do u see us lining up in Rnd 1 next year?
I don't see any significant change other than Warnock slotting straight in:

B: Thornton, Jamison, Bower
HB: Scotland, Waite, Grigg
C: Simpson, Gibbs, Stevens
HF: Walker, Cloke, Fisher
F: Houlihan, Fevola, Betts
R: Warnock, Judd, Murphy

INT: Carrazzo, Austin, Kreuzer, Browne

EMG: Hampson, Russel, Armfield

Hurley/Ziebell would not be too far away but not in the first few rounds i wouldn't think...

Looks pretty good..
Thoughts?

Doesn't look too bad, but if we take Ziebel I think he will play round 1.

I'll wait until after the trade week before looking at this.

I think we need to trade one of our gun midfielders. Gibbs, Stevens, Judd and Murphy are all great midfielders but they are too similar. They are not good tacklers. This season, i found that when the momentum was against us, none of these players would step up with good defensive midfield play. I suggest we trade stevens to get a high draft pick cause we need a tougher type of midfielder in his place. tackling is not one of our strong points and we have to improve on that. By having all those players in the midfield, it won't be improving.

On the balance of what we have right now, i suggest we go with this team next season. I say don't bother with warnock as kreuzer and hampson are good enough. besides, warnock isn't really proven quality.

Pick 6 - Jack Ziebell Problem solved

Hopefully:

B: Austin Jamison Browne

HB: Armfield Bower Thornton

C: Simpson Gibbs Stevens

HF: Walker Cloke Waite

FF: Betts Fevola Fisher

R: Warnock Judd Murphy

I/C: Carrazzo/Scotland (can't split them) Ziebell Grigg Kreuzer

EM: Setanta Wiggins Hadly

I think Bower can take CHB next year after another preseason. He was brilliant this year, and i sonly going to get better.

Waite up forward for more firepower.



EDIT: forgot Walker!.....shit we have some depth now!
