Kruezer ... or whomever is deemed to be worth our PP.


(But no more hoping to lose games when the season is shot half-way through to get the best draft pics ....)

kreuzer and aisake sharing the ruck

With the Hammer keeping them honest by running amok in the VFL.

Agree.

New coach,

PP and another in the top 5.

delist/retire a number of players saddington, whitnall, kouta, bannister, teague.

OK to trade Fev if the deal is right - but it has to be a really good deal otherwise keep him.

8 wins plus for the year.

Either of Voss or Ratten as coach.

Not being robbed at gunpoint, kidnapped or carjacked.
Being able to leave the pistol at home when I go to the supermarket to buy Coronas at 60cents a pop.
Being able to watch movies on TV with no subtitles.
Blue Beatle sending me at least 8 winning DVDs
Seeing at least one game live and winning.
Feeling like we are on the way back at last.

Hey!

The thread title doesn't say realistic hopes for next year.

Modern, media friendly coach who will develop our kids and get the best out of them

Fev to stay, cut the crap out and play football well

Kennedy be allowed to play CHF all year and grow as a footballer

Eight players delisted and hopefully one traded

Be able to attract a solid contributor via the PSD, in the position we were in the PSD has failed to net us a really good player (excl Stevens)

Our selections will always be subjective because their is question marks on out ability to create a culture that develops the kids.

A young developing ruckman.


I want to see Jacobs in the team week in /week out.


Jacobs played 13 games in the seniors in SANFL last year and "was one of the best performed ruckmen in the under 18's last year," according to champion data.



good enough for me - put him in the team and get rid of the puff pieces like Ackland.

The more i investigate the selection of hampson - i wonder why we didn't get renouf?? anyway, hampson may develop - but in the meantime JACOBS IN 2008... GIVE HIM A GO!!!!!1

jacobs is pretty solid in the centre bounces but when it comes to mobility forget it.

In that case he's already a better option than Ackland.

Ackland is bad at the stoppages, and slow around the ground.

Ackland really needs to be switched on, and have his head in the right place to even break even as an AFL ruckman.

Unfortunately he doesn't always seem like he wants to be out there.

I wonder what type of investigation leads you to that conclusion after half a season.

1. Pagan Gone
2. No more thrashings
3. No more wanting Priority Picks
4. We are good enough that Wiggins & Ross cannot get a game
5. We have a developing ruckman in the firsts
6. Players are played in their best Positions
7. Saddington, Bannister, Teague, McLaren, Kouta, Lappin, Ackland ? GONE
8. Listening to enthusiasm from a new Coach, and taking responsibility for our losses
9. We draft well and get some strong footballers rather than atheletes we are HOPING will develop

I'm not even going there

According to Champion Data, Renouf was ranked number 1 in the hitouts in division two last year.

he has the bst running vertical jump at the afl draft camp

he kicked 5 goals in a tac cup game against geelong

he has been in southport's past two premiership teams.

And according to the posts on this site and the ratings of various other judges Hampson is not developing quickly. That is fine, he looks athletic etc. but he may be a long term project. I want a young ruckman in the team next year - and that is jacobs. No Ackland at all.
