Our spine in 2011

[Dez!]

Could Morton fill the spot at FF or CHF with an extra 8kg of muscle on him?

He's tall and skillful enough.

Morton will be required in the midfield, I reckon it'd be a waste turning him into a FF or CHF.

 

[whelan=legend]

You guys are kidding right? 2011 is a bit far fetched you guys are easily 4 to 5 years off even challenging for finals.

LMFAO!

Carlton took 8 years to rebuild because you lost 4 years of first round draft picks (deservedly so, cheats). The true Carlton rebuild was 2005-2008, before that you loaded up on recycled hacks.

From Hawthorn and Carlton, we can see that a club is on the bottom for around 3 years, before rising to high bottom 8 the fourth year.

2010- Melbourne will finish around 10th.
2011- Finals, no questions about it.

hmmmmm... 2012 finals i think. 2010 10th.... 2011 challenge for finals maybe get there... 2012 in there comfortably challenging top 4... who knows from there.

Unfortunately I don't think that Brock McLean is the man going forward into 2010, 2011 and beyond, for that important pivotal role .
He is just too slow, as was clearly and painfully evident against North. I mean, other sides have guys that just speed right through the centre. Harvey for North , Mitchell for the Hawks, Cas have about 5 of them, we have no one.

Mitchell fast? Geelong a fast midfield? Watch some games please mate.

Nice troll buddy.

Please, get a clue.

in 2011, when I believe we will seriously challenge for the flag, our spine looks pretty good:

FB - Martin
CHB - Warnock/Garland
C - Jones/Grimes/Petterd
CHF - ???
FF - Watts
R - Spencer

CHF is the glaring issue here, and hopefully we can find someone to make that position their own.

Chuck in our quality youngsters Blease, Strauss, Morton, Maric, Bate, Jurrah, Buckley, Cheney, Jetta, Bennell etc etc and a few veterans who should still be playing good footy in a couple of years (Green, Davey, Bruce, Rivers, Beamer etc) we have to be confident of doing well in the not too distant future.

It might take a couple of years, but we've got the nucleas of a very, very good team on our hands.

like a few in here suggested the 2011 flag was ours for sure.

Grim.

At least the Carlton supporter who chimed in was more realistic, saying we were 4-5 years off, turns out it was more like 9.

 

[mrmonkey]

Disappointed we missed out on Robbie Warnock as well. Could have had really had some domince with those two as bookends.

Our PowerPoint presentation wasn't good enough, apparently.

 

[Duke of Windso]

Morton at Full Forward could have been a game-changer

Very insightful, really. Knew we wouldnt be challenging for finals for 9 years.
