Then why the thread then? I reckon they had a massive year this year. But I reckon they won't next year. Midfield full of absolute plodders.

Dogs also have some major flaws. Who are these great kids they have unearthed?

Dalhaus? Hmm yeah he is ok nothing special and wont win games for you, enthusiastic and good to watch but not a star.

Jones? Good prospect but needs to get his kicking right.

The stars are declining, Cross, Gia, Murphy, Boyd all good players but getting to that danger age. Ward, Hall and possibly Reid gone. Cooneys knees are shot. Where is the major improvement going to come from?

I like McCartney but gee i have my doubts.

Well no, as I haven't added a ladder. You sidestepped the point in a manner that would have done Quade Cooper proud. Congtratulations.

Not much love for the Eagles I see. I don't think their rise was a fluke. Probably need a bit more flexibility in the midfield to be a genuine force but if I can see that surely Worsfold can.

Spot on.

Need an attacking goal kicking mid to go from top 4 threat to genuine chance. Schuey, Sc Selwood, Nic Nat, Hurn and co will continue to improve and if we have a good run with injuries again and hopefully recruit well then we are a big chance.

If I could pinch any player and make him a Cat it would be Nick Nat. That kid is going to the biggest name in football. How did Melbourne not select him? A blunder of Tambling like preportions, even though I reckon Watts can play.

Watts - Under Melbournes nose, pedigree, local elite school program graduate.

Natinui - As raw as raw gets with little to no back ground to go on.

I can see why Melbourne picked Watts, but hindsight tells another story.
