    Fans voted on this one..

    Whilst I'm suprised Macrae isn't in, who in the midfield does he replace? Libba, Prestia, Parker, Treloar, Heppell, Swallow & Ellis are all very handy.

    Treloar and Ellis are probably the only two he could replace, but they have both had outstanding years this year.

    Anyone notice GCS had a heap while GWS had one? I wonder if that will change by next year?

    I understand when compared to the picks Melbourne got for Scully, we looked to have been jibbed....but Ward for Macrae...we did just fine.
    The way I like to think of it, we swapped Jordan McMahon for Jackson Macare

    McMahon for pick 19 (Ward)
    Ward for pick 6 (Macrae)

    I don't care if it's spin - it makes me feel much better (and yes, I was one of the first to forgive Wallace)

    Look at the size of the AA centre line. 10 years ago these size players were almost KPP, now mids. Aspiring mids need hormone feed chicken from infancy to grow that big now. I'm glad we've looked ahead to needing other big strong mids to compete.
