Whoops , my bad .
DMac , White and Rice are still young and could be very good players - White played a few games and didn't look far from staying in the team - DMac is a elite runner and could make it easily - Rice and Long could fill Geary's spot if required and Key backs well we wanted Haynes or Tomlinson however if we took one of them we most probably have one pick in the top 10. Scoring Austin could well turn out to be another turn around story like Roberton for us and we still of Goddard and would not be surprised if a Marshall or Battle could fill a spot if required.
Our backline was one of our highlights this year , Geary showed why he was made captain , Brown who was picked as a fill in played his roll very well , Webster showed he is a good player , Roberton was outstanding , Carlisle was what we needed at CHB and I expect White will be the other halfback and that is the feeling of got from players like Montagna saying they expect him to take that position.
If Brown or Carlisle go down we have at least 3 players now who could fill the gap Austin , Goddard or Marshall as he played in the backline line in the VFL a few times and didn't do to bad(last year with Goddard out we only had Gilbert to fill in and to tell you the truth he is the worst kick out of defence you could get) and if Geary goes down we have Rice or Long - and as we found out Long played in the backline before joining the dogs 2nds.
So to me our backs are ok , our problem is getting it out of the backline which at times was a major problem and hopefully Steven , Steele , Acres , Sinclair , Billings , Gresham , Ross , Dunstan step up and get that run and carry off the halfback line and deliver it to Bruce , McCartin , Membery.
I'm expecting the kids to take the next step and shut up all this negative comments from people.
We have a great list and after the draft will even be better.
Steele , Acres , Sinclair , Billings , Gresham can easily be our elite players and if that is the case we have 5 of them and not including Steven or Ross
Carlisle and Roberton are A graders.

Bit of an update.
Draft Central finalized their rankings tonight. Only Knightmare and D_P_S left (haven't heard word on if they are updating their lists again or not).
As it stands now;
Ed Richards been a huge mover. Was outside top 20 mids and now inside 15.
Huge gap between 11th and 12th spot, and another pretty decent margin between 14th and 15th.

Everytime I log on to this thread I start reading with a clear crisp line of thinking, then you campaigners just confuzzle and flamboozle my combobulations. This kind of describes what my brain goes through.

Kingy will be very happy for us if we pick Coffield.
Wrote an article in the HUN a few days ago about the draft and what he thinks clubs should do as a result of the way the game is played these days and he said clubs should be lining up to grab someone like Coffield, with transition/rebound from defence so important these days.

Great work, fascinating list. Isn't it a problem though that you don't consider them as any number when they're not on a list? That means the average is only taking into account those who listed them, which for guys like Richards who weren't on half the lists is a massive underestimate.

Phew!
For a moment there I thought Kevin Spacey was about to reveal one of his tricks

Sounds like we will be one step ahead when we have 22 defenders. We won’t even have to transition it.
Gearey Brown. Webster
Clavarino ?? Austin roberton
White. Clarke newnes
Savage Carlisle Gilbert
Goddard Wright rice
Marshall Coffield Clarke
Thing to remember is the lag from draft to impact. We have immediate needs but these players will not be ready for a few years.
For example, do we try and address immediate needs or do we look ahead and pick a player that will be peaking when Stuv is in decline? Like a Bradshaw type?
Arguments can be made for both approaches.

Long can play back.

I’m quietly hoping it’s coffield & Bonar!
And thats just after pick 7 has been read out isn't it?
Problem is that if it’s Stephenson kicking it to mattress guts, it will be at his feet, over his head or 10m to the left or right of him

Too much work lol but I will try and see if I can add it. Don't think it would make too much difference though.

Should help Paddy feel like he's finally taken Roo's spot in the teamProblem is that if it’s Stephenson kicking it to mattress guts, it will be at his feet, over his head or 10m to the left or right of him
Probably why I am happy to grab Lamb. He's 22 and talented. If his problem is attitude, and he gets that right, he could be an absolute steal.
If he can give us output like Koby did last year, we'd be laughing.
