Opinion The won't/will make it thread

[dazbroncos]

At this point in time. For posterity - review at a later date.

Just those who I think are probably not up to it :

Schroder, Burbury, Hartmann , Stringer.

Plus

Bews next if Thurlow/Hamling/plus a kid eg Kolod. show they have enough. Smedts traded to St. Kilda!
If Simpson and Vardy hold up and Blitz improves a little then we will pay out the front ended contract for HMac.


By years end, we will delist about 6 or 8, I reckon, plus a couple of vets for a big dip into the draft/trade ponds.

Rings a Gamble bell!

Go Catters

no love for billy dont know why showed more than few on that list only had 2 seasons.yet people think brown.schroder.stringer will make it think he has shown more than them?

 

[denicat]

oh and hope someone puts this back up half way in the year

 

[you pick one]

ha ha.
I dont mind the look of him.

It's just off season fun mate.
i.e. I suggested GHS wont make 100 and I love him. And Smedts has so much talent I'll me amazed if he doesn't make it to the ton.

Catgirl has about a dozen making it. It would be truly amazing if 6 make it to a ton.

I agree with that,and the worrying thing is that list is a fair % of the team list,add to that we still IMO have question marks over the long term fitness of Menzel,Vardy,Hawkins and McIntosh with Bartel, Mackie,Kelly,Lonergan and Enright coming to an end.
Our best 22 on paper 2014 looks OK but just how robust longer term is our list really?

Billie will make it.

 

[strauchnyy]

Brown - No, 2014 last yr for cats then traded for a pick in the 40s.
Schroder - No, will be a depth player. Probably delisted in 2014 and rookied somewhere.
Hartman - No
Cowan - No
Bews - No
Smedts - Yes, will be a gun or bust. I think the patience will pay off.
GHS - No, really is 50/50 IMO, don't think he has enough at afl level.
Murdoch - Yes
Kolod - Yes, as a third key defender.
Stringer - No
Lang - Yes
Bates - No, but only just. Will probably play decent footy at another club.
Hunt - Yes but not more than 150, will be a depth player to be overtaken by next generation.
Simpson - Yes, but will struggle to play more than 120 due to body
Walker - No, could be the least skilled player in the AFL.
Burbury - No
Kersten - Yes
Thurlow - Yes
Hamling - No, too slight, is brown all over again.

[muttonchops]

Here is my go.

Brown - No
Schroder - No
Hartman - No
Cowan - No
Bews - No
Smedts - Yes
GHS ........ Yes
Murdoch - Yes
Kolod - Yes
Stringer - No
Lang - Yes
Bates - Yes
Hunt - Yes
Simpson - Yes
Walker - No
Burbury - No
Kersten - Yes
Thurlow - Yes
Hamling - Yes

A couple really disappoint me. Mitch Brown just has never really wanted it badly enough in my book and never worked hard enough. Jed Bews just isn't up to it for mine. Josh Cowan they have persisted and have seen something in him that I have not.

Of my NO's I would really like to see Schroder make it for some reason I really hope he does. My answer may change at seasons end, I do like the cut of his jib. But 100 games mmmm.

 

[you pick one]

I see Josh Walker as the exact opposite to Nathan Ablett,Josh lives and breathes footy and really wants it,but is not naturally gifted like Nathan.I'd like to see Josh get to 32 games the same as Nathan at Geelong and see if he can kick on.
Next year will be his third on the list,just turned 21 last month,out of contract end of next year,flick him at your peril I say think North Melbourne and the young forward they gifted us in 2000.

 

[BotsMaster]

Hopefully one of these players will pull off a 20 and 3 season. Can possibly see Kersten doing it.

 

[BlitzenTrapper]

Brown - No
Schroder - 50/50
Hartman - No

Lang - Yes
Bates - Not sure
Hunt - Yes

Rookie.
Doesn't count

As per the op.
Playing 100 anywhere means you made it.

Poor VFL grand final, he has to win the Norm Goss Medal every time. At AFL level he has to get 20 touches every time. On ability and desire he should make it.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Fair enough but im only interested if they play 100 for us, not another club. What i was basically saying with brown is that he will not be on our list in 2015 which is what i reckon will happen.

Poor Blake 99 games in that period of dominance and a premiership medal,missed it by that much chief as Max would say.
