Dunno, what I do know is he's a sleeping giant - if he gets the same delivery as Daniher then look out world coz he'll rip it a new one!

I hope so..

Agreed but I'd argue that's a result of poor development - every player apart from Dunn and Blair (they're at the end of their careers) has potential to improve in varying degrees
I'd also argue that Kirby, Wills, Ramsay, Sinclair, Schade, Mackie, Crocker, Phillips would attract varying degrees of interest from opposition clubs.
I'd also add Wells to your list purely because of his age and injury problems, yet when on the park is priceless - but no one would want him for obvious reasons.
Every club has players of the list you've made - we have more than others, why? Because of shitty development! I challenge you to prove beyond doubt that these players cannot improve to afl level as you say
There's no hoping about it, it's fait accompli - just a matter of when and would've happened already if not for the poor team play around him

I think greenwood, Thomas and Smith would make a list on another club, weather on main or rookie
Greenwood has trade currency. I would think GC would love a tough, hard inside mid to help support Swallow and their young midfield.
True that forgot to add those guys in

I don't get that list that was put up. No one has a list of 40 elite players.
Or even a whole team. You need 30-35 players that can play afl but not all of them A grade quality, there are always role players
Actually gws, a team of champions but not a champion team
Got torched by the Crows, they still have a way to go.

And that's their problem, they rarely play as a team, but a collection of very talented players, that relies on that talent.
But if they ever get a hard edge to themselves and play as one, goodness help the comp.
And that's why I wouldn't mind if they won it, it's moot and as much as admitted so by HQ
And that's my point, by the sum of parts it's hard to argue that the crows list is better than gws just as it's hard to argue that gws is a better team - surely not.
No argument, talent isn't enough.
Talent requires direction, application and espirit de corps.

Can agree with this sentiment to some degree. I lived there for 2 years and I wish I'd left earlier
Would prefer we use our draft picks rather than pay to the degree we'd need to in order to secure Lynch.
After the Freeman debacle, and paying out for Treloar (which was right) and Aish (which hasn't paid off yet), we need to keep focusing on bringing in as much young top end talent via the draft as possible.

Interesting interview on fox from the MVP tonight. Facial expression and comments from goldy and lynch ...again interesting. I'd suggest Lynch wants out, or is seriously considering his future at GCS. Perhaps he is waiting for the new coach to be appointed? I can dream and certainly a tad delusional, but there were moments that appeared like we might be a show here!

As the AFL own GCS I dont think they will allow Tom Lynch to leave as that will be an admision that the GCS is a fail in their expansion plans. If they let him go elsewhere that would be a full stop on the plan to create a club on the Gold Coast. If that happens then the following year or two they will be either looking to move the club or merging it.

If he truely wants out, they will let him go, but l am not convinced yet that he does yet.

Pick 6 + Sidebottom or Pendlebury + fringe youth will be required for Lynch.
It's the fringe youth player that is most worrisome, as the announced 22 under 22 highlights what youth we have we need to keep.

Agree, especially with Barlow being down at the moment. Not sure he has "currency" but I daresay they'd at least be interested.
