Possible 22 2017

[Joeyjoejoe]

Hooker signing has me thinking of the best 22 next year :
(All pie in the sky, but why not)

B: Gleeson Hurley Baguley
HB: Hibberd Hooker Francis
MID: Colyer Heppell Zaharakis
HF Leverde Daniher Langford
F: Brown Bellchambers Fantasia
Foll: Leuenberger Watson Z Merrett
Int: Goddard Myers Parish Stanton

Emg: Tippa , Hocking , Bird , Dempsey

Add to this the number 1 draft pick!
Draft #1 = Mid (it's a midfielders draft at the top end)
Second round = Key FWD
Third = Key Back

Say goodbye (Snr list) : Kommer , Cooney , Ambrose , Gwilt , Pears
Bring in (Snr list) : #1 round draft , #2 round draft , #3 round draft , Dea , Tippa (promoted)
Keep on rookie: McKenna , Long , Nyuon , Wallis
Off rookie : Hams
#1 rookie selection

Reserves:

B: Dempsey #3 round draft Tippa
HB: Morgan Hartley Dea
MID: Long Bird J Merrett
HF Redman #2 round draft Edwards
F: McKenna McKernan Eades
Foll: Nyuon Hocking Howlett
Int: Ashby #1draft pick Wallis #1 rookie selection

If all things go to plan, this is a very good side.

Baguley Hartley Hibberd
Francis Hurley Goddard
Fantasia Heppell Colyer
Laverde Daniher Zaharakis
Watson Hooker Langford
Leuenberger Parish Z Merrett
Myers Tipungwuti Hocking Stanton

Then including a very impressive Redman, an improving Long, Eades potential or
Morgan's speed
Has a season off been beneficial for Bellchambers and can claim a spot in the 22? Howlett? These guys are good players and provide great depth.
That spine looks excellent, we have speed and a lot of guys who can spend time in the midfield. Probably lacking a small forward but that forward line has smarts. That back line has such great users of the ball.
Then we add a number 1 pick
I think some football fans need to start realizing Essendon are not going to be in the doldrums for years to come...

We probably need to know who will actually definitely be on our list in 2017 to judge this and as far as I can tell, we won't know that until November or December 2016.

Until then, such discussion can be had in this thread.
