Very fair. I think if we do get the high end of projections from the 3 academy boys next year (unlikely) then it solves like all the problems for Sydney in the future. And helps with the most frustrating problem "go home factor"We will see seen so many of these academy kids horribly overrated. Edwards was the year prior to his draft. Maybe you are right but calm the expectations

I think 2 out of 3 from Chamberlain, King and Carmichael are higher end national draftees next year
I reckon realistically one will go 15-25, another 25-35, then the other much later and potentially rookie draft as its probable one drops awayThat’s a lot of IF personally and I say it all the time go with the lower end. One might be top 8-10, one might be top 20 ish, other one is a second rounder that’s the range I’ve got.

Parfitt would be a great get. He is easily AFL quality imoI say this with a couple of premises. I don't know how many list spots are up for grabs etc. This would most likely change a lot depending on how pre season goes.
In this scenario I have drafted the Whitlocks. I think their development can mirror Green's so in 2-3 years the club has a lot of options.
I don't think the structure of the AFL team will change (3 talls).
Papley Amartey Warner
Hayward McDonald Jordon
Gulden Mills McInerney
Blakey Melican Lloyd
Cunningham McCartin Rampe
Grundy Heeney Rowbottom
Roberts Florent Cleary McLean
Whitlock* Ladhams Parfitt**
Warner Buller Mitchell
Fox Adams Campbell
Francis Whitlock* Wicks
Kirk Hamling Snell
Green Sheldrick Hanily
Edwards Kennedy* Cochrane*
Key notes: Draft the Whitlocks twins, Kennedy and Cochrane. Nab Parfitt as a DFA.
I am putting Kirk and Wicks as defenders, the latter may be able to reinvent his career as he may have limited opportunities as a small forward.
Play the young kids and don't worry about losing, it's more about structure to mirror the AFL squad.
Difference now is there is ample vision available to make our own minds up, whereas in the past we were largely just going off names on a piece of paper.We will see seen so many of these academy kids horribly overrated. Edwards was the year prior to his draft. Maybe you are right but calm the expectations
Its not that drastic though:Pretty much new matching rules in place though we can’t trade for junk
It’s by the by, but I was actually very impressed by Rowbottom’s decision making as the season went on.Parker should have been in the team all year, but he was never going to be the solution in the midfield.
He just grabs the ball and boots it as far as he can. We already had Rowbottom for that.
Yes it will if it happens, which seems likely. Pretty sure the club and the players will do their best to persuade him to stay but in the end it's his call. I'm hoping we recruit someone who will, in time, fill that hole to a fair degree. Even a trade takes time.Yes because Warner likely leaves also leaving a big hole in our list as well as our cap.

Unless we hide him for a year, I can't see how a player as classy as Carmichael won't go in the top 20.
As for Max King. I think he is a legitimate top 5 contender. You don't see 17yos taking marks like the below at 53:54 very often in the seniors.

Pretty sure he is going to the Pies given their list depth is past horrific for key position playersAdam Tomlinson delisted by dee's. I'd throw him a lifeline for sure.
Nice positive thinking. I'd do a few things differently but love the idea of mirroring seniors structure. Hopefully have 5 man bench too.I say this with a couple of premises. I don't know how many list spots are up for grabs etc. This would most likely change a lot depending on how pre season goes.

Club announce
Fair enough. Green to ruck more in VFL, with Ladhams. Buller and hopefully one of our 2 fwd/rucks in seniors to join them in pinch hitting.Club announce
Thats now 6 list spots available the the potential for 4 main list spots and 2 rookies both being rookie As for the draft and post draft periodSo happy Hanily isn’t gone Mitchell meh but worth a one year

Given the rules about deficit and how it might mean that 58 is worthless to us i wouldn't mind trading up 44 and 58 to maybe get into the 30's but its tough to see how given most teams that are matching are packed in between 39-43 right before 44Seems bang on what we do. Whether it be 3 plus the Cochran match or just two that’s the query. I’d go the 3 and then see when the bid comes wouldn’t necessarily match personally but at the 50’s it’s a who cares match. Hopefully the bid is 4th round plus
