Who would you recruit?

Post: # 625503Post 3rd generation saint »

If it were possible, which male Olympic athlete would you like to recruit to the club and try and turn him into a footballer.

Without doubt for me it would be Usain Bolt, 6 foot 5 and runs the 100 and 200 faster than anyone else.

If this guy was able to pick up the game, forget Buddy, Ablett, he would be a sensation.

Lionel Messi the Argentinian footballing whizz-kid.

Just convert his round-ball skills to the oval ball. He would be a sensation!

Stephanie Rice. Couldnt give a stuff about her footy ability but she would surely help the club.

Assuming we're not allowed to recruit girls :( , how about a couple of players from the Aussie water polo team.

Now there is a tough sport....plenty of in and under midfield material there!

Bogut would be awesome.

Not Olympiians but I reckon Greg Inglis would be really good.

without doubt Labron James... What a genetic freak this lad is... For a kid his size (and age) his athleticism is one in a billion...

Bolt on the HBF would be handy too....
