Eagles look real bad, must be favs for the spoon. If Allen leaves in F&A that’s pick 1&2. If I were them and a team like the bombers were offering 2 top 10 picks for Reid, you’d take that considering it looks like he doesn’t wanna be there anyway. 4 top10 picks in the last uncompromised draft would be just what the doctor ordered for them.
Apparently, the Eagles are also asking the AFL for a priority pick.

Agreed with Riewoldt.

Karma bus has parked itself outside Eagles HQ. Wonder if a coupe of their newest recruits want to get off.  ;D

Eagles gave way the farm to get Tim Kelly and they've done it ever since. They don't deserve any priority picks

They can always trade HR to Dons and get 3 first round picks.

If Allen leaves via FA that'll be 4.

The rest is up to them as a club not to stuff it up.

they will likely to do this as one of them is the dees first pick which may impact us unfortuantely.

they could end up with 1, 2 and 3

True indeed, but I'd much rather be in our shoes than their's or the Dees'.

Weagles are almost a certainty for that spoon and Dees are one of the worst performing sides along with Carlton given their list.

Wonder how long it will take before Mini is under pressure. I bet they sacrifice him.

Guessing Dilldo won't tell WC to suck it up and that they should've managed their list better like Vlad told us when GC & GWS entered the comp. :shh

Yeah they are still bad, not worse than the eagles or us but looks like they’ll comfortably finish bottom 4 again.

Just need the dees to get their poo together so kangas can slide down to 16th.

85 down now, if they're better, it's only marginally.

Their defence is their weakest line by far. A team with a decent fwd line will always be able to get goals. Unfortunately our forward line consists of Lynch and a bunch of kids so don’t think we’ll trouble them too much.

Even so I’m all for it, absolute dream scenario is kangas for the spoon and us 17th but think the eagles will take some beating for that which with Allen looking likely to leave will unfortunately mean they have picks 1&2.

Don't care about where we finish or how many games we win. If we win games though it has to be with as many kids playing as possible.

No more Short Dow, McIntosh and a few others.

Win with this side or a close variation of it when all are fit and while waiting to get em all fit build toward it.

Vlastuin  - Balta - Trainor
Brown - Gibcus/Gray - Smith. Gray while Gibcus is out. Smith is only one of about three who has the attributes for the D Rioli gig imo.

Campbell - Taranto - Clarke. We need pace and ball use on the wings desperately. HRS/Banks until Clarke is ready Seth a no brainer imo.
Nankervis - Smillie - McAuliffe. Rest Toby play Ryan if we want to see how he is travelling. Can't play both imo.

Algar - Faull - Hotton. Oh look lively classy small forwards who can rotate midfield if need be.. Faull looks like he can handle the level Physically.
Mansell - Lynch - Sims/Armstrong/Fawcett. Just rotate young  talls thru this role. Tom and Nigel provide experience and toughness.

Lalor - Hopper - Broad - Prestia - Lefau. Bench is full of experience and can be thrown into areas where we struggle. Sam Lalor by seasons end hopefully is a starting mid.

Call me crazy i think there is enough experience spread thru that team with seniors on the bench,
Imo it is the team with the most potential going forward and they fit into roles suited to them.
It at least endeavors to address serious team shortcomings as well.

We are missing a trick by not aiming for something like this team. We are missing a trick by not trying younger blokes in midfield roles.
Pick players with the right attributes for the roles we want them to play.
