Bolded players either have to be replaced by better players or they have to make a drastic improvement.

Thats not a premiership team.

Bellchambers listed at FF and no Ambrose. Did you watch a game this year?

I'd forgotten Ambrose, sub him for any of Langford, Guelfi or Snelling.

What's wrong with Bellchambers at FF? Can always switch him and Draper around if it's such a big concern.

Also I've been in Canberra all year, they don't show anything besides GWS and Sydney games up there so no not nearly as many as I'd have liked.

Bellchambers can barely jump as it is. He's cooked. He's not a forward threat, and hasn't really been one since 2013 (maybe some games in 2015) and Draper won't be playing FF in Round 1 as he'll still be coming back from a ACL.

Current list

B: Saad, Ambrose, Francis
HB: McGrath, Hurley, McKenna
C: Redman, Parish, Merrett
HF: McKernan, Daniher, Tipungwuti
F: Fantasia, Hooker, Stringer
Foll: Bellchambers, Shiel, Smith
Emg: Zerk-Thatcher, Heppell, Gleeson, DClarke


After trades/drafts and presuming Raz and JD want out

B: Saad, Ambrose, Francis
HB: McGrath, BZT, McKenna
C: Redman, Wines, Merrett
HF: McKernan, King, Parish
F: Stringer, Hooker, Tipungwuti
Foll: Ceglar, Shiel, Smith
Emg: Heppell, Gleeson, Clarke, Ridley

This team has a couple of young talls, one of whom doesn't have OP. BZT has a further improved Francis to support him, as well as Ambrose spoiling the best forward. King has the support of Hooker and Stringer, one of whom will attract the best defender. Parish, who now hits the scoreboard can rotate through the middle. Wines getting in and under to dish out for Redman, Merrett and Shiel. Redman gets a wing for his height and quality foot skills going i50. Ceglar is our final new piece; gives us better mobility than TBell and is a sufficient quality ruckman while Draper gets his body right again.

Less a prediction at this stage, more a wishlist
Ins: Ryder/Sauce (FA), Wines/Crouch/Parker (2020 1st rd), Drew/Langdon/Knight (2019 2nd rd)

Ambrose Zerk Francis
Saad Hurley McKenna
Merrett Heppell Smith
Stringer Daniher Fantasia
Tippa Hooker McKernan
Ryder Shiel Wines
McGrath Parish Redman Drew

Still not overly enamoured with our depth but the likes of Zaka, TBC, Langford, Clarke, Laverde, Begley, Ham, Snelling, Guelfi, Ridley, Mutch, Stewart etc aren't the worst emergencies. Ideally just need to call on them less.

Im going to throw it out there so we can move on from our pretty weak loss to the eagles last night. Obviously early and trades/list movement to happen over coming months, but at this stage I'd have;-


Hooker Hurley Saad
Redman Francis Heppell
Merrett Stringer McGrath
Laverde Daniher McKenna
McKernan Stewart Tippa

Draper Smith Shiel

Bench from : Parish Fantasia Ambrose Bellcho




Come at me...!!!

If we are serious about ourselves, we will not be having Hooker and Bellchambers in our side next year. Same with Fantasia.

Doubt Draper will be ready to play number 1 ruck for round 1. Will be hoping he is ready for VFL round 1 play 3 or 4 games and then be in decent form to come in.
 
Bolded players either have to be replaced by better players or they have to make a drastic improvement.

Thats not a premiership team.
Snelling goes okay for a bloke who got here half way through the season. Not a star but is one of those good B grade troops you need. Plays midfield and can hit the scoreboard as a forward.

Fantasia to Adelaide for one of the Crouch brothers. Doubt we have any chance of Wines as Port have Boak and Rockliff at the end.
Hurley to GWS for Whitfield. Whitfield is a free agent next year so lets give him Hurley's $$ and get a deal done before he walks for free.
Ryder for peanuts and they can have something small.
Trade out Zaka, Langford

So that gives us....

Saad Ambrose Francis
Redman Hooker/BZT McKenna
Merrett Heppell Whitfield
Stringer McKernan Smith
Tippa Daniher Snelling
Ryder Shiel Parish
McGrath Crouch Ridley Guelfi

emg: Laverde, Ham, Mynott, Bellchambers, Gleeson, Clarke, Begley.

Draper to come in the side in the second have of the year and McKernan the VFL.

Just need to find another good small forward, hopefully Mosquito comes good.
