I was reading those articles that 'The ' have been doing about the status of 'every player' on a clubs list and I thought:
- What if we could have one 'good average player' from every side in the AFL to choose from...so say their 'top 5' are off limits and the last 2-3 years of draftees are off limits - but you can have a crack at anyone else you want? My idea was to try and pick guys on the fringes who 'in theory' could be recruited...oh - and they have to be able to play at least 5-more seasons...I'm not signing players up for their pension fund. I know guys like Vlastuin have value but without knowing what they're thinking Im gonna assume their hunting cheques not flags!
Here goes:
Adelaide:
I choose BEN KEAYS. Tough. Desperate. Half forward who can both kick goals and apply pressure. Plays the game with desperation and enthusiasm. Sign me up.
Brisbane:
I choose DARCY WILMOT. Hard as defend first defender. Can lock down but will attack if/when the game opens up. Sure of hands and sure of tackling! Let's have ourselves some of that.
Carlton:
I kind of feel the ones I want I'm ineligible to take...
Collingwood:
I want to say the half-forward version of Pat Lipinski! They get pretty old pretty quick so unless you're taking a Shultz...I mean, maybe Ed Allan? Ultimately I probs pass.
Essendon:
Damn. This is HARD. They have a couple of guys I like but they are top 5 or ineligible due to recency...you actually begin to appreciate the middle of our list when you look at the last 3.
Fremantle:
I choose BRANDON WALKER. Fallen out with Freo. Elite - ELITE runner and elite legspeed who can be a lock down defender. Just go get him.
Geelong:
I mean, how good would Shaun Mannagh be?? I'll say MITCH KNEVITT. Runs well and kicks it pretty good. I like his inside game but he 'looks' like he could play outside...could he hold down a wing? He's only a kid - I really think he could help us.
Gold Coast:
I choose CONOR BUDAREK. I mean - the whole ACL thing is a bit of a concern - NGL. But he has 'looked' like a player whenever on the park. I hate the idea of rehabbing someone else's injury issues (I mean, Nick Coffield, come on down) but SURELY worth a shot. MAYBE worth a shot??
GWS:
I choose CONOR STONE. A run on Conor's! I like him - tallish (190-ish) medium defender who sticks his head over and seems to see it through. Not a great threat ball-in-hand - just seems to be a DEFENDER - but certainly one who could slot in and help.
Hawthorn:
I genuinely hate everyone on this team.
Melbourne:
It's like the remains of the premiership team or a bunch of kids...
North Melbourne
I mean, I obviously want Paul Curtis but he's off the board.
Port:
Jordan Sweet? Zak Butters? It's just too funny!
Richmond:
Same as Melbourne but even younger.
St Kilda
I mean - Wilkie maybe...kinda fits the criteria I suppose. Not too excited. Lot of good kids though.
Sydney:
I want JUSTIN MCINERNEY. Can he be got? Mid forward connector, kicks goals...must be on average wages due to the Warner-Gulden-Blakey 3-headed beast up there...man he would be good for us. Just what we need.
West Coast.
Lols.
