He has now spent a long time out of football.
Milera needs a solid hitout of games in the sanfl to prove he can play AFL again.
I'm just treating him as unexpected bonus if he can return to good football.
Need to play him for one game, and then get Carter into the system. He'll be eligible for the 2039 draft.

(Options: Berry, Pick 4, Butts, Bond, Sholl, Milera, Dowling, Taylor, Pedlar, Jones, Ryan, Edwards, Cook)
Coach: Matthew Nicks
Given that we probably didn’t know how good Goodwin, Edwards and Johnson would be in ’97 how do we compare? Thos three could be Curtin, Michalanney and Soligo in 2025.
There are three glaring differences for me…Blight, Rehn, Jarman.
Rankine is wearing Bunji’s number for a reason.
Different era, but, optimistically, we might not be that far away.

Even if 1 game as sub...
Ok so with trade week done, I've decided to go full out at what my team for round 1 looks like.
I've decided to completely ignore what Nicks is likely to do and pick the team purely as I would pick it.
Here goes:
FB: Michaelaney Keane Worrell
HB: Dawson Murray Hinge
C: Cumming Crouch Sholl
HF: Walker Thilthorpe Keays
FF: Neale-Bullen Fogarty Rachele
R: O'Brien Soligo Rankine
I: Peatling Curtin Nankervis Taylor
EMG: Dowling Berry Edwards
Smith and Laird play SANFL.
I might have trade period delusion, but that looks a pretty good team.

I might have trade period delusion, but that looks a pretty good team.
I just can't see us putting 800k player in the 2s.
Neither can I, but as I stated, I'm picking based on what I would do, not what Nicks will do.
Hopefully Laird proves us all wrong and has a big preseason becoming a top notch small defender / half back player again.
It's not about fitness levels though. He would have to change his habit of giving panic handballs and hospital kicks.
At this stage of his career I can't see him doing either.
In reality, he will get picked. We all know it.
Not talking fitness, more attitude and focussing on those things you mention.
The man can find the ball like few others, so if he did fix those areas, he would be a huge asset.
Sadly I think that ship has well and truly sailed.
Let's say Nicks does a ...Nicks and decides he has to pick Smith, Laird and (gulp) Murphy.
Who comes out of that round 1 side I posted?
Nankervis for Smith?
Taylor for Laird?
Curtin for Murphy?
Horrible. Taylor I could see. Maybe Sholl is on the cusp as well.
Then there is pick 4. Will we play them or make them learn how to play back pocket in the SANFL for 6 months?

My best available team for R1 if all fit and healthy
B: Michalanney Keane Worrell
HB: Cumming Murray Hinge
C: Curtin Soligo Sholl
HF: ANB Fogarty Rachele
FF: Keays Thilthorpe Pedlar
1stR: ROB Dawson Rankine
Int: Peatling Taylor Pick 4 mid Nankervis
No talls on the bench because Curtin can drift forward and become the 3rd tall. Worrell helps Keane across the D50 as the 3rd tall in defence.
I want real craft AND ball pressure inside forward half and Keays and ANB give that whilst Rachele and a hopefully fit Pedlar will give the craft. we have depth on ball to change it up with peatling, Taylor and our pick 4 available.
IF Nicks can get the structures right with his new right hand man, this team has the potential to really go places

So the glaring differences are not having two more top 10 players in the clubs history on our list?
And a messiah coach?

Faaaarrkkk..that SANFL side should win every game by 10+ goals
Cumming, ANB and Peatling are going to make a huge difference to how the team plays next year if they can remain injury free. All three are massive upgrades on what we already had on the list.
“Two more”? Would be interested to see your lists.
Burgess won’t be delisted because he’s critical depth. No way they’re going into a ‘must finals’ season with young Murray as the sole KPF depth.

Nah, Burgess is easy delistable as not AFL standard.
Would prefer to get games into T Murray or swing his brother or Worrell forward if we have most of our forwards unavailable.
As it is we have Thilthorpe, Fogarty, Walker & Curtin.
I'd happily delist him and have him as a SANFL player. We need players of his experience and talent level (SANFL wise) around Turray and the like.
Keane Worrell Murray Murray Walker Thilthorpe Fogarty Butts. Plenty key position depth

Curtin, Borlase & even Welsh before playing Burgess.
Why put games into someone who isn't AFL standard.
Would even prefer to play Hinge, Max or Dawson at CHB if we were desperate.
