[Hodge is God]

Fremantle above Sydney? Yeah, nah.

 

[Quite Ironic]

Sorry you just got in there before my edit haha

 

[PantaloonRazorblade]

Freo's lineup needs more Sutcliffe, Michie and Sheridan. Think at least one more of the current midfielders will make way.

 

[strauchanie59]

I'd replace Rampe with Rohan. Rampe is more of a backman.

 

[Suma Magic]

This time last year I really would have rated us. Not any more.

Gold Coast and GWS 1 and 2. Then daylight.

 

[Danair]

Yeah GWS and Gold Coast are pretty far ahead.

 

[BC9_]

Conca?

 

[Danair]

I'd replace Rampe with Rohan. Rampe is more of a backman.

No Parker as well!

 

[In Judd we trust]

Joseph???? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[BC9_]

Wallis for the Bulldogs?

 

[Ozzie93]

Joseph???? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

gibbs????? hahahahahaa

 

[Podsnap]

Daniel Menzel isn't a midfielder. I don't think Troy is either. Duncan, Horlin Smith for Geelong. Might as we'll put Thunt in there if you're including Motlop. Gold Coast will smash the competition.

 

[woopedazz]

Pretty trollish. "vince, wright, mackay"

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

1- Melbourne
2- Gold Coast
3- Port Adelaide
4- GWS
5- Richmond
6- Collingwood
7- Sydney
8- North

 

[Igloo]

Why do you have Picken in ours...?

Ours would be something like: Griffen, Liberatore, Wallis, Macrae, Hrovat, Smith, Stevens, Dahlhaus

 

[strauchanie59]

1- Melbourne
2- Gold Coast
3- Port Adelaide
4- GWS
5- Richmond
6- Collingwood
7- Sydney
8- North

Bolded for the lulz.

 

[DontArgue4]

Ours definitely needs more Conca in it

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Bolded for the lulz.

they have Toumpas, Trengrove, Viney, plus this years second draft pick midfielder (Aish). then you have M.Jones, Blease, N.Jones, Evans, Magner, Sylvia. Plus if they trade right and get free agents then cant see why they cant have the best.

and as for Port there is no reasn why they cant be the 3rd best in the comp in a few years time

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Good effort OP.

These kind of threads turn into 'look what mistake you've made' when overall it's a pretty decent effort.

I would rank for the next 2-4 years,

1. Richmond (I don't think bias. Richmond's midfield is already top 4-6 in the competition and our oldest Midfielder is Brett Deledio at 26. Vlastuin, Conca, Ellis will all be A graders, B+ at worst. Grigg and Houli have jumped up further, Martin and Cotchin are already A & A+.

2. Gold Coast (Lots of development will need to take place for them to reach second, but this year they've made quite scary improvements. With the inclusion of Jack Martin I think they'll be quite ominous for years to come.

3. Sydney (Their 2009 draft was done right. I think Sydney are brilliant. Hannebery, Jack, Mitchell already three players that will take them further for the next 10 years).

 

[CF]

Geelong: (Selwood, Caddy, Christensen, Menzel, Motlop, Stringer)

If you honestly think this will be our midfield of the future then you know nothing about our team. So that leads me to suspect the rest of your post is just as flawed. The fact you put Menzel there is a huge fail to start with.

*Waves at future Big Footy after bump*

These threads are always much better in two to three years time.

 

[100action]

gold coast - O'maera, Bennell, Ablett, Martin, Swallow, Prestia

extremely ****ing ******ed.

 

[Barnzy]

1- Melbourne
2- Gold Coast
3- Port Adelaide
4- GWS
5- Richmond
6- Collingwood
7- Sydney
8- North

Troll ?

gold coast - O'maera, Bennell, Ablett, Martin, Swallow, Prestia

extremely ******* ******ed.

Swallow is playing off the hbf because he's struggled to get a kick in the midfield. Just because he was #1 doesn't mean he will be a star. Looks decidedly average. Martin yet to play a game. Ablett will be a permanent forward by the time the other kids are peaking.
