Terry Wallace says - Current team Weakest since 1996 team.

Re: Terry Wallace says - Current team Weakest since 1996 team.

Disagree.

The 2012 versions of Lake, Cooney and Morris don't belong on that list (in the context of the discussion).

Doubt Boyd does either - he wouldn't have a got a gig in any of the top 5 teams of last year.
Which leaves Griff and Murphy, who will soon retire.

Our list is poor.

Come on Dry Rot. Really?

Agree that we have a very ordinary spread of talent across age groups.

Boyd? You're kidding, surely
We're paying a price for poor recruiting in 06
I'd rather have some pain than finish in AFL no Man's land

Just about the most stupid thing written on here this year.

Yep. Don't think his poor disposal would be tolerated in those teams. He would get into say the next 4 teams of last year, along with possibly Libba and/or Dalhaus as development players.

And there's our problem - we have just 4 or 5 players in 2012 who would make any of the top half of the teams from 2011.

We are in trouble, and need a full rebuild.

Why? His shocking disposal would rule him out of those teams.

Re: Terry Wallace says - Current team Weakest since 1996 team.

I definitely think we are in that stage again of "rebuilding" but I still think we are a lot better at the moment then some other teams in the competition. We most likely won't make the 8 this year but in a couple of years will be pushing once again for the 8. I do think that yes there are question marks on some of our players on our list like Higgins, Minson, Wood, Addison.

There's been plenty of worse midfielders to play in premierships than Boyd.

There's been plenty of worse players to win a premiership that Picken, Giansiracusa, Higgins, Tom Williams.........we could name a few more.

Agree that we're in ordinary shape, but that doesn't mean we should be silly about things.

Would any of those players (as they are playing this year) have made the top 5 teams of 2011? Maybe Picken, that's it.

You could make a case a little for Gia out of those players.

I'm not Boyd's biggest fan, but you're absolutely kidding yourself if you think Boyd wouldn't walk straight into any midfield in the league.

Imagine Mitchell and Boyd in the same side -- they'd never lose a clearance. Ever.

We are in average shape but it doesn't mean we are totally devoid of good players.

Also, DR, you do realise that Josh Hill is getting regular games in a side that was top four last year and quite likely top two this year?

You have put Mr Hudson in there to , The Peoples Beard had 14 possessions and 33 hitouts in yesterdays game and is probably the Lions No1 ruckman now that Leuenberger has a long term injury

On the other side of the coin in the NRL , Parramatta have the best record this side of the equator of offloading players and they either play finals or win a Grand Final in the next two years

Very good point BB. Who would have claimed last year that JH would have gotten a game in a top four side? Some people on here are way too negative on our own players.

Agree with your sentiment, although it is debatable that Josh Hill would be getting a game if Le Cras and Nickoski were both fit.

And Boyd? Do you agree he wouldn't be getting a role in a senior top four side?
