100+ - Bonts, Stringer, Macrae, Liberatore, Stevens, Dickson, JJ (nearly),
80+ - Boyd, and fringes like Hrovat, Redpath, Biggs if they cement themselves, and then all the other pups that come on
50+ - Zaine and Any draftees from this or the next Draft
Add in a couple of free agents or trades of players between 100-200 games, and it's a list in two years that if it stays together will be around the top for a good spell. By my guess that core would have 5-6 seasons towards the top of the ladder assuming they play to potential.

Re: Round 8 - 2016

Re: Round 8 - 2016
You never know.
Only half joking about 3-4 more years. He has that kind of wiry physique all the long termers have (400 club; Michael Tuck, Kevin Bartlett, Dustin Fletcher, Brett Harvey) and his obvious love of the game, club and teammates means that mental burnout shouldn't be an issue.

Just show all the previous ones on the big scoreboard. Him crying in Brisbane and taking a dive against us in the PM should feature prominently.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Looks pretty good until you realise Stringer is the tallest player after Roughead to have 100 games under his belt by then
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Isn't the Bont taller then Stringer?

Looks like Bob definitely has at least 2 more years. Hopefully that's two more finals series.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Correct, I overlooked that as I was thinking of our spine. Roberts, Hamling, Z Cordy, Redpath & T Boyd have a few years to go yet before they will be at their peak
