Is 2012 a realistic chance?

Wow, Attard so bad you had to list him twice.borderbarry wrote:if a club has delisted them or doesn't demand anything for them, don't draft them. Yes, that's you Gamble, Begley, Attard, Clarke, C.Gardiner, McQualter, Eddy, M.Ferguson, Pattison, L.Fisher, J.Smith, Howard and Attard.
Anyway - all clubs make trades, plenty of those traded don't work out or make significant contributions.
I suppose you'd rather Lyon had gone for the tank and rebuild as soon as he arrived? I can just imagine how that would have gone down.

For all the talk of "start pre season now" Im concerned that 2012 may not be a realistic "shot" at a flag. Reality is we'd need to find a ruck option who is ready made NOW. McEvoy isnt a number 1 and certainly not a GF winning ruck....he looks a way off it to me.
Our kids appear ok.....Sippos enouraging, Cripss allright, Smith avge, Lynch? - who knows, Winmar ?...see Lynch....point is even if these kids and others are good enough is there really enough time in 1 pre season to expect them to rise in maturity/ability level to ably assist our current mids for a genuine shot at a flag?
I really fear at 28 we are starting to see a drop from Roo...Hayes with another knee and year older should be the ceam at this stage...not the engine.....
So if we trade a star for GWS kids - then surely we are admitting the likes of Riewoldt and Co wont see a flag. This group has missed out if so.
Either way, 2012 might be a pipe dream is all I fear - and the worry is we will innevitably become one of those mid table sides (or worse) who delude themselves that if "everything goes right" we can win the thing.
We should play more young guys like walsh put him on the list,and winmar smith archer ledger,stanley and a host of others.
But i feer that mini will still get a game as with blake and peake he was named in the best for sandy.
To me this is impeading the young guys development and this is what we should have done in 2009/10 when we knew we were making the finals.
Other teams did this and now they have gone past us in development we will be able to relode for next year if we play the young guys.Not for 1 or 2 games than drop them give them 5 or 6 games we need to know if they can play now not next season.
