Who's going to debut first?

• Partington
• Cole
• Mutimer
• Allen
• Snadden
 
The thing I like most about this draft (and last year's) is that it shows the existing group that there's a new generation of players ready to replace them in the not too distant future.

The previous group of "young developing Eagles" is now the group that needs to grasp every opportunity they get and I assume (hope) the presence of a new generation of mids and runners will push the existing group, like the introduction of Shuey, Gaff and Darling pushed guys like Lynch, Embley and Nicoski etc
 
Wool one of our gummers get shanked to make room for Lamb?

Do ewe see this pedigree buck grazing the Subiaco forward paddock next season?

I think it'll be a fine loin between shear delight and udder dissappointment when we see Chop's legs out of the stalls and on the grass in 2016.

It might be tough, with Kennedy and Darling as the established talls. Still, there might be injuries (of course) or the coach could decide to rest one of the talls. I hope that Lamb gets a chance next season , just not because of a long term injury to one of our other tall forwards.

Lamb will definitely play around 5-10 AFL games this year.
 
Bond 007, how do you like his chances of getting a game this season?

He has all the tools to be successful - its really a matter of application on his behalf to put his name up for selection, and whether the MC see a role for him. Certainly there are others in front of him.

Barring injury, spots are going to be tight. 5 (Jetta, Redden, Lycett, McKenzie and likely Duggan), can't fit into 2 (Sinclair and Rosa) so there's going to be some disappointed players come round 1.

I'm not sure if this is your area of expertise or not, but what are your thoughts on how we will structure our key position players? Will we revert to the the Brown, Emac, Schoey combo with the Gov moving forward? Is it possible that we might opt for a smaller defensive set up this year having seen the success of a 2 KPD system last year?

So there will be real competition for spots which should bring out the best.
Jetta, Wellingham, Dougan, Gaff and Masten into 2 wings
Lycett and McKenzie into the tall void of Sinclair (or do we go an extra tall)
Redden Jetta Masten Duggan v's Hutchings Hill Le Cras and Cripps in the forward line
Nelson Duggan Cole Sheppard Ellis Butler Wellingham battling to join Captain Hurn in the web

We now are starting to look like contenders.
We will get injuries and we should be able to cover. Bring it on.

I don't think even Simmo knows at this stage. Certainly the need for quick and accurate ball movement out of defense won't change.

it will be interesting to see how this plays out

Thanks for replying :D And yeah, i'm really interested to see how it all pans out. Good problems to have I suppose, with options aplenty.

Just a quick question.do you think lamb was drafted with a view to being a full time midfielder with his elite running ability or a forward who can pinch hit in the middle when required? Cheers
