Deal all but done.

Late 2nd round, early 3rd for White? About right I guess

Yeah considering late 2nd round basically turns into early 3rd round I'd be happy with that

Reid definitely staying.
Paul Connors "He will be playing at Sydneynext year. They will explore him playing back, because of the success of his brother"

[Mailman the 2nd]

Wow we have 5 players who can kick 40+ goals heading into 2014.

This is with one of the best midfields and and getting some key pieces back into the backline in Shaw and AJ.

Although I Pyke probably has the tank to go solo I can see us targeting a ruck. Not sure who's willing to move though   

[Ricochet]

Could Tippett just play more ruck?

Yeah I guess he could do the whole Forward half rucking job. Although that might turn off Pykey as a goal scorer! :D

But yeah I'd say his workload would increase now that Franklin is in

Yeh I pictured it as Buddy works up high, Tippett starts deep and rotates with Pyke when Pyke is stuffed. So Tippett is like 80fwd/20ruck

Makes the most amount of sense. Reid plays third tall, with Goodes also allowed to run as he pleases.

McGlynn, Rohan and Jetta working as the crumbing/running forward players.

[Capper]

Im worried about the backs though. Everitt going, Smith rumoured, but hopefully stays. AJ still injured

Didn't ya'll see this?

If he becomes as good as his brother down there then we're all set ;)

Don't forget Macca can go down back too Tabs.

Gary Rohan looked brilliant as a lead out forward against freo I think it was

Macca isnt a back, he is a good lose player in defence though

AJ to come back in. Rampe stays in. With Richards, Grundy, Smith (aint going nowhere) Eski and Macca (now perma halfback IMO)

Towers, Shaw, LRTand maybe Armstrong running through the rest.

[Mailman the 2nd]

I think worse case scenario is Smith goes, in which it wouldn't be great, but I think there's enough back depth to stay good. At worst we might be giving some debuts to guys like towers etc.
