Yeah he's disappeared off the radar but I reckon he could be something. Still only just turned 20Not much love for colledge. Think he's more likely than many of these others to be running around in the 22, actually has some exposed form too.

Yeh we can definitely build a great team around the strengths we have. I'm interested to see how Sheppard and sheeds careers progress over the next 2 years. Mcginnity on the other hand, I foresee his future and there is no need for shades.This is what excites me being a west coast fan, in two years time west coasts best 22 could be the same as this year, where as teams like freo will have a whole new spine filled by kids.

AmenTeams severely lacking Sharrod....just sayin
Wafl, which is at least broadly comparable to afl, as opposed to tac cup etc which i much further off the pace imo.Where?

Perhaps. Colledge is a nice runner, he doesn't stop moving which is why he's making the transition to the midfield.
His actual contested ball work needs more time, as does his positioning at stoppages. Given his lack of pace he needs it to be grades above what it currently is to make it. So while he's physically ahead of others, and more mature. There is a good chance we'll find more natural midfield talents who make the transition to AFL a little easier.
A pretty conservative guess, ages at start of season.
Bennell(26) McGovern(24) Brown/Schoey(28)
Hurn(29) Mackenzie(28) Sheppard(25)
Rosa(30) Selwood(26) Gaff(24)
Masten(27) Darling(24) Newman(23)
Lycett(24) Kennedy(29) LeCras(30)
Naitanui(26) Yeo(23) Shuey(26)
Duggan(20) Sheed(21) Wellingham(28) Waterman(20)
I'd like to put in another small forward, but I don't think Karpany will make it, and I don't see Cripps' ceiling as that high. Would be good to swap Wellingham for Coniglio.
I've noticed he seems to be used as a link up player for East Perth, which I've found strange, given his future at AFL would seem to be as a big bodied, contested ball winner. Is it a deliberate part of his development or just the way he naturally plays the position do you think?
S.Hurn - A.Rance - M.Brown/W.Schofield
D.Swallow - E.McKenzie - D.Rich
H.Bennell - J.O'Meara - A.Gaff
M.Lecras - J.McGovern - J.Darling
J.Martin - J.Kennedy - C.Rioli
N.Naitanui - E.Yeo - L.Shuey
S.Coniglio - S.Lycett - L.Duggan
Sub = L.Franklin
Relying a little bit on the go-home factor and the competency of our recruiting/trading staff but still wouldn't be surprised to see this side lining up (against what will probably be the bulldogs) round 1 2017.
Lol @ Franklin.
Wouldn't think Swallow, Bennell, O'Meara, Rich & Coniglio are out of reach.
Highly doubt Rioli & Martin.
Probs CHB. Kennedy/Darling/Resting Ruck/Potentially Lamb is pretty tall and effective enough. The value he has taking marks in defence outweighs what he would add up forward.What will become of McGovern? CHF?
I still think you can't waste that contested marking ability down back. If our midfield improves we should see less need for match-saving marks down back, and if Kennedy or Darling don't have separation on their defenders, having a plan B to just set it up for McGovern to jump at would be priceless.Probs CHB.

Don't reckon it's that likely. Doesn't look to have the right body for modern footy. Hansen Mk2.Will McInnes cut the mustard?
