With a bit of luck by end of next year on paper at least we can maybe say :
B Docherty, Macreadie, Plowman
HB Byrne, Marchbank, Williamson
C Fisher, Hopper (part of 3-way Gibbs trade?), Petrevski-Seton
R Phillips, Cripps, D.Fogarty
HF Pickett, Weitering, C.Curnow
F Polson, McKay, J.Silvagni
INT LeBois, Kerr, B.Silvagni, Cuningham (haven't given up hope), Sumner (questionable I know, but has talent to burn), Glass-McCasker (slow developer?), Sheehan (great kick and not exactly old old is he?).
I'm thinking exactly the same as you.
It doesn't seem unreasonable that the Gibbs / Hopper trade could be done. Equally, I think drafting Darcy Fogarty is highly possible.
If we have one more magical 100% hit rate draft like last year we'll have a sustainable list again.
I'd like to see us recruit a quality young ruckman in the next two years with a ~pick 20ish too.
I would prefer to grab one in this year's rookie draft first.
