For a bit of fun I put together a starting 22 plus 3 emergencies for the 2020 season using players currently on our list. One thing is clear, we clearly have more talent than we have in the past 15 years. Certainly a few question marks (particularly the key forwards and the bench) but it does appear we have the nucleus of a successful team, it'll just take a few years. Add another 4-6 quality youngsters and a couple of FA's, and we are in business.

Most of the guys you've named on the bench and emergency will be gone by then too. But the exercise is interesting and I think shows the building blocks are being built now. If that backline stays free of serious injury and meet their potential it is a very versatile looking group. |

FB: Docherty Weitering Plowman HB: Byrne Marchbank Macreadie C: Williamson Cripps Fisher HF: C.Curnow Jacksch Polson F: Silvagni Mckay Pickett R: Phillips SPS Cunningham Buckley Sumner Le Bois JGM EMG: Boekhurst Kerridge Smedts I highly doubt that Jacksh, Buckley, Sumner, Boekhorst or Kerridge will be there by 2020. Haven't seen anything of Le Bois. And I suspect Cunningham and Smedts won't last until then either. And whilst I'm absolutely chuffed about the early form and attitudes of our 2017 debutants, I'm stil cautious given the usual hit-rate for lower draft picks - it would be highly unusual, I'd imagine, that ALL of our 2016 draftees become senior regulars. Having said that, this look does highlight where we need to focus in the coming drafts; amazing-gun-place-all-the-weight-on-their-shoulders-father-son-picks notwithstanding. If McKay comes through, then I think we have pretty much got our spine in order. Just need to bring in a gun rookie ruckman - Phillips may become that but maybe not (he's nowhere near it yet...). Then we need to pick up a mosquito fleet of midfielders. And then a free agent or two (not a messiah free agent which squeezes our salary cap, but a good strong contributor free agent to add that extra special something to a top 4 team). |

For a first post I say great post Rohan. It shows we are not so far away from having a complete side. If we can nail this year's draft then that interchange bench will out nicely. |

Replace Jaksch with Kerr, our seconds coach really rates Kerr |

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?). |

But the coach said quote last week that Kerr will be an exciting player for us. Now coaches tend to be conservative in these types of player reviews so it certainly is of interest that he said those things about Kerr. The kid is a skinny tall in his first year, maybe the coach can see certain things that suggest huge potential. You of all people should be aware it's not always about stats. |

It's the perfect time for the likes of Kerr, Cuningham, Polson, Williamson to name some to be new players at the club. I mean, there are so many more who won't be at the club before those guys so time is on their side. |

The back line looks tight. Real top-drawer stuff. Lock it in, Eddie (cauliflower). From the Centre line forwards, though, it's all up for grabs. Aside from Cripps I'm not sure you can say anyone is a nailed-on, guaranteed future champion. Sure, some of them have shown signs (Silvagni, SPS, maybe Fisher and Charlie based on very limited evidence). The rest could go either way. As others have mentioned, there a good half-dozen or so in that list who have little to no chance of making it. Loads of work to do, and far too early to speculate on what the list will look like in 3 years. |

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. |
