Assuming we lose this week and get our horde of draft picks, and that the blokes who have played this year improve and come on/recover from injury over the off-season, what would you rate as the lineup we can put on the field?

I tried to do it and just can't - difficult to work out which of the young blokes keep their spot, and how many of next years draftees will be ready straight away

Just start with Wiggo and build the team from there.

i like the team Don but I don't think the Kruez will be ready for the rigours of number 1 ruckman.

Will probably share the ruckwork between, Cloke, Kruez and Ackland (unfortunately)... provided he isn't piad out.

I would say AB would be in also.

looking at that team... the future is looking bright.

Probably right, but as I said this is really a 'best-case scenario' team more than anything, assuming that the young guys improve again next year and that our picks are indeed as good as people think they are. Not really based on reality at this point.

To hard to tell until we get our players from the drafts, trade and delist.

FB: thornton s.o'hailpin bower
HB:scotland waite carrazzo
C: simpson walker russell
HF: gibbs kennedy fisher
FF: betts fevola kreuzer??
RR: cloke stevens (c) murphy
INT:bentick blackwell jamison jackson
EMG: houlihan no.3/4 pick a.o'hailpin

drafts and trade will obviously cause changes, hopefully in the ruck department.

Dependant on trades and Sunday's game, if we could field the following team, they'd take some beating:

FB: Jamison S'Ohailpin Bannister
HB: Scotland Waite Thornton
C: Simpson Carrazzo Walker
HF: Gibbs Kennedy Houlihan
FF: Fisher Fevola Betts
FOL: Cloke Stevens (c) Murphy

INTER: Jackson Bentick Bower
Kreuzer

Emg: Russell, Pick 3 ND, Wiggins (if not delisted), Aisake

Notes:
- Hard to put cloke as a starting ruck but unless we pull off a coup, id rather it be him to face the brunt than Kreuzer with ackland delisted
- Big fan of Banno's stopping power. Hardened body, and is experienced.
- Think Bentick over blackwell. A rotation role from the bench could really suit Adam.
- Bower and Jackson to provide fresh run.
- Cotchin/Palmer/Ebert to replace one of Bentick/Betts/Jackson when in form.
- Lots of faith in JK at CHF
- Russell very stiff

Go Blues!

Who will be VC? with Skinny gone and Lance gone next season would that point to Fev (if he's there) or Simmo...perhaps even Scotland?

Yeah Simmo would be good but I'd have Walker as Dep instead of Waite or maybe even Murphy

i think walker would make a good dep as well but he didn't even want to be part of the leadership group this year.

Wow Really? I remember Kouta and Lappin doing the same thing this year or last year so they could just concentrate on their footy so maybe thats what hes doing or being advised to do.

Assuming no injuries and without any thoughts for development, this is our best side IMO. By the way, not saying I'd play them all in those positions, (i.e. Waite) but they all make the team. I tried to factor in team balance etc. and totally disregarded whether we should be developing or not.
