Which list would you most want?

[RUNVS]

I did a similar thread to this a few years ago

Which team list would you least want?

Question is basically in the title. Basically I am asking in this thread which club do you think is a combination of furthest from a flag and possibly least exciting going forward? I am not asking which club you think will come last in 2020, but that could be taken into account of you want. I am...

but in that instance it was which list would you least want.

I considered doing a similar thread to that, but then I realised we would learn nothing as everyone would pick either West Coast or North Melbourne, or the vast majority of people would.

So unusual for me, I picked the more positive option and decided to ask if you could swap your list with any squad currently in the competition which squad would you pick?

Now of course you can pick for the future, the list you think will be the best in 2 or 3 years time, or you can pick the list that you think is going to win the flag in 2024, so going for immediate success.

So, if you could swap your list with any club what list are you picking?

Also hopefully people don't just vote for their own club here, as it is less fun that way, and I am thinking of one club in particular whose fans might do that.

For me I am going with Gold Coast.

I know they have been predicted to move up the ladder for ages now, but I look at their list and their midfield has the potential to be amazing, their forward line is pretty good, as is their defence and importantly other than Witts, most of their top contributors are young.

With King back in the side this year it really would not surprise me if by 2026, maybe even 2025 they are going to be in premiership contention.

If Sydney had Gold Coast's list I would be pretty damn pleased and think my club had a lot to work with.

North and Freo.

I have a feeling North will be a powerhouse in the future when those high draft picks mature.

Freo are on the way up now and have great young talent. The midfield especially will be beastly.

Yep. Even a West Coast fan voted for his/her own team. That is, well on the delusional end of the spectrum

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Typical 100% of Geelong votes from Cats supporters.

 

[Dr Tigris]

GC have the list with the most potential I feel.

Whether they actually fulfill that I doubt. But just on the list they're my #1

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Crows have got to be right up there. No votes for them so far. In true Richmond gentleman supporter fashion I will cast my vote for an opposition team. Crows for mine.

Their list stinks too.

Contender for worst list to have. I reckon they believe their players have drunk from the fountain of youth What’s Tom Hawkins 50 years old this year and going on 200kg?

Brisbane fairly easily. GWS and Gold Coast second and third.

 

[Orange crush]

There are a few teams with nice lists that need just a few pieces: gc, crom, and to a lesser extent fre and north.

But right now, if I had to swap a list with gws to win a flag for this season …. Brisbane

Not me
Too many holes

Lions the obvious one, but ill go freo
Ripping ruck/ruck fwd combo with darcy and jackson
Amiss reminds me of a young lloyd
Brayshaw, serong, young as onball contigent plus erasmus, johnson, odriscoll and sharp.

Bit of a shame schultz left as i was a big fan

North need an entire backline.
And a ruck
And a 2nd key fwd to support larkey.

Good mid and small/med fwd depth though.

If freo had a sam Taylor on the list, i reckon they'd shoot into top 6 contention.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Geelong would be my 18th pick, appalling list

Kangas for me: Sheezel, Wardlaw, McKercher and Z Duursma just from the last 2 drafts

I think Freos back line is pretty solid, as are their forwards, they need some potency up forward to join Amiss.
Logan McDonald and a decent pressure forward.

Jackson/Amiss when Darcy is in ruck is decent for this year.
if they can land McDonald without losing too much, i reckon that list is primed for a run at some flags.

 

[Muddiemoose]

For immediate bang for buck maybe Carlton
Should be right around the mark for a few years yet (unfortunately)
Although Salary cap squeeze might become an issue

Not if their history is anything to go by.

 

[Scatter]

Gold coast #1 for mine, Adelaide, GWS & Brisbane as runners up (with Freo but that’s biased).

Not entirely true.

We drafted multiple defensive players in the last 2 drafts. Just need some time.

We also took one of the best rucks in the draft in probably the best year for rucks in 5-6 years.

Also disagree with the last point, club is clearly building a fleet of dynamic medium forwards around Larkey, rather than a second tall. Collingwood just won a flag with Mihocek and Cox/Frampton.

I don't think scoring power is going to be a problem in 2-3 years personally.

Some just need some time.

Bit rich coming from a Tigers fan given the shoddy state your ex coach left your list

That’s why we got a new coach. Yours is still rotting away. He’ll quit eventually, hope for your sake it’s sooner rather than later.

If we are talking about the here and now and not most promising list, I can't help but feel Melb has the best list

Interesting, Fowardline is lacking and haven't fired a shot in finals for two seasons. Oliver casts a shadow over the whole team now.

I'm still hopeful that our list will really turn into something special. I think the emergence of Amiss is really going to add a lot in a few years. A gun small forward in the next draft should finish off the forward line.

If I had to take another team for next season then I think the Lions will win the flag so I pick them.
