How I’d like us to look R1 next year:
B: Michalanney, Butts, Worrell
HB: Hinge, Murray, Cumming
C: Sholl, Dawson, Nank
HF: Rankine, Fogarty, Rachele
F: Keays, Thilthorpe, Walker (I guess?)
R: ROB (if we have to), Soligo, Crouch
I/C: Taylor, Curtin, Dowling, ANB
Sub: Milera
Pick 4/Pedlar/Cook/Bond/Ryan/Edwards all in consideration, if they have ripper PSeasons. I assume here that Berry/Keane leave and Luko goes to Port
But we all know this won’t be it

How I think we could look come R1.
Keane, Berry to Pies for future first
Pies future first to GC for Lukosius
Third rounder to Dees for Neale-Bullen
Free agent - Cumming
Pick 4 - Draper (guess)
FS - Welsh approx pick 30
First rounder next year and year after would have to be on table for an elite midfielder via trade. Perhaps club taking a long term strategy for this.
FB: Worrell ~ Butts ~ Bond
HB: Hinge ~ Murray ~ Michalanney
C: Cumming ~ Dawson ~ Soligo
R: Obrien ~ Rankine ~ Crouch
HF: Keays ~ Fogarty ~ Neale-Bullen
FF: Rachele ~ Thilthorpe ~ Lukosius
B: Draper ~ Curtin ~ Milera ~ Taylor
S: Nankervis
Depth: Laird, Edwards, Ryan, Pedlar, Borlase, Himmelberg, Sholl, Dowling, Hamill

Out:
Jones, Murphy, Berry, Borlase, Bond, Laird (with Dowling, Tex and Sholl on the edge depending on recruiting)
In:
Ryan, Neal-Bullen, Butts, Rachele, Rankine, and at least one of Edwards / Lukosius / Cumming / Draper / Lalor
Cumming and/or Lukosius straight into the side if they inexplicably want to play for us and whoever we pick at 4 (and perhaps also our 2nd pick) would be a big chance to come straight in too.
2-3 of Edwards, Ryan, Tex and Dowling would struggle to make the Round 1 side if that was the case.
Milera and Pedlar the smokies. Might never play again. Might become mainstays. Both pretty ravaged by injuries and it remains to be seen if the confidence can return.
Maybe we could actually recruit a ruckman who possesses the motor skills of an adult human to put pressure on O’Brien. I doubt it.
My side:
B: Hinge - Butts - Michalanney
HB: Worrell - Murray - Ryan
C: Soligo - Crouch - Nankervis
HF: Neal-Bullen - Fogarty - Rachele
F: Keays - Thilthorpe - Walker or Lukosius
R: ROB - Dawson - Rankine
Int:
Taylor
Curtin
2 of Sholl / Dowling / Cumming / Edwards / Draper / Lalor
Sub:
Any leftovers above, or Pedlar, or our 2nd draft pick

This is the squad of players we need to be playing most games next year to challenge for finals (assuming we get at least ANB in trade period, plus one of Cumming or Luko):
During 2024, we only really got our best defence and forwardline on the park for the last 4-6 weeks (which coincided with some of our best footy). Rankine barely played with RT at all. Laird only got finally shifted to HB in the last month. Milera gives us way better drive than Brodie Smith off HB these days and was sorely missed when they kept picking Smith through bad form.
PS. I am well aware Lachie Murphy probably still plays heaps of games, but I can dream that ANB will replace his role!

Which players will have a barnstorming preseason and sneak their way back into the 22?
McHenry? Smith? Himmelberg? Jones? Parnell? Schoenberg?
Which young players who showed some promise this year will have it forgotten and get leapfrogged by the above?
Taylor? Dowling? Nankervis? Curtin?

Prepared for another year of pain. Remember at AFC, change only happens when its forced because the situtation is beyond the tipping point.
D: Max Butts Worrell
Hinge Murray Cumming (hopefully)
C: Nank Dawson Sholl
RoB Rankine Crouch
F: Taylor Fog Keays
Rash TT Curtin
I: Dowling Soligo Bond Pick 5
Do not want to see Laird or Murphy in tri colours again.
I want to see Dowling on ball, Curtin forward more, Taylor in Murphys role. Rankine 50% mid.

Forgot to add in:
OUT:
Leadership team. Worst in the AFL. Worst in our history. Possibly worst in all of history. Throw it out and doing it properly
I hope it's Pedlar.
None of those should be on the list next year if we are serious.

Rinse and repeat.
It was Worrell two years ago. Nank this year.
I’d say in order it will be Taylor, Dowling, Bond or Curtin that won’t get a game until after the bye next year.
