Draft Needs

[Owl]

Duncs said he wants a foot rub, best you waddle on over

[jackstar is back again]

i read this topic with interest, with most have some or no idea what is required
Our list top 22 players is okay, but is ''wanting ""
Players who are outside our 22 need to be serious looked at with an "'exit "' strategy in place at the club eg rance etc.

We need the following in priority.
Tall back player who plays in D50 and can take overhead marks eg S.Fisher or N Mawell type.
This would then release players like Lids who then plays on ball or through the corridor.
Lids is currently a "'band aid "' solution.

Griffiths can play and will assist Jack Riewoldt down forward, as will Post.-Post can also play back, then you have Astbury as well.
therefore its fair to assume that we will try and "'off load"' one of the following. McGaune, Moore or Thursfield as 2 of the 3 are earmarked for Coburg in 2011.
Hicks will go back on the Roookie list and is a player in devlopment with a 12 month expiry date, hard to see him being successful due to his light frame, worth noting his dad was built like a branch stick and still is
Nahas should be moved on,

Am totally amazed that posters rate Rance, cant play I am afraid, looking good doesnt mean you can play

So we need a tall back and then just pick the best players available and then turn over the bottom of our list

Robbie is contracted for another year Jack and no other club will trade for him. So we are stuck with him in 2011.

Question Jack ..... What is your top 22 of our list then?

I know you think Matt White is a quality bloke Jack but I didn't realise how good you thought he was until this! 

[jackstar is back again]

I think he is our best 22, but things could change after the first 6 rounds in 2011.
He is ahead of Nahas and any other light weight that mascarades around as a small forward, LOL
Anyway, I meant to put in Richard Tambling, he is scrapes in, in front of Farmer

Cheers Jack.

So as a rough side?

B:   Thursfield     Moore     Connors
HB:  Newman      Post       Deledio
C:   Morton       Cotchin    Edwards
HF: Collins        Griffiths     Astbury
F:   White        Riewoldt     King
R:   Graham    Martin    Foley
Int: Vickery, Tuck, Tambling, Jackson

Missing?
* A bigger body defender
* Tall back player who plays in D50 and can take overhead marks eg S.Fisher or N Mawell type - who'll free up Lids currently a band-aid option.
* Classier quick small and midsize forwards
* More midfield class on the bench to add better depth underneath our top tier mids and who also have pace to play outside on the spread and kick goals from the midfield.

MT, exactly what i said earlier.
A big bodied defender

[jackstar is back again]

me and MT agreeing

[Judge Roughneck]

If you select the youngest 22 players on the list that you think will be playing for rfc 2011.

And put them into a team.

This is a intersting way to see what area we are weakest in

[Ramps]

shows how far we are away - a long way!

[Oiafi]

Nice MT and Jack.

Good to see a young side with a fair bit of development left in it. With good recruiting, upgrades of players and natural development we might just end up with a decent football team yet.
