Off-Season Musings: Projected 2013 Team + Stuff

I thought now that the squad for next season had been finalised I'd attempt to predict how the team may look come round 1.

Since I last posted the Eagles went through the draft and picked up some guys who I don't know enough about to assess. They also picked up Jamie Bennell who was delisted from Melbourne. Being delisted from Melbourne of all places isn't exactly promising, but like Hill before him I think Bennell will get the best out of his abilities (which are quite decent) at a winning 'football' club like the Eagles. I know he's currently recovering from a knee injury, but there's hope for the future.

In other news, Kerr and Naitanui both suffered injuries and Shuey signed on until 2015. The Eagles also did some good things in Cambodia.

Now without further ado... 

WARNING!: This is based on nothing other than my own thoughts and opinions, however awesome and accurate they may be. Obviously, this is if everyone is fit, using the final squad from the Semi-final loss as the template.

B: Jacob Brennan, Darren Glass, Beau Waters

HB: Shannon Hurn, Eric Mackenzie, Will Schofield

C: Daniel Kerr, Matthew Priddis, Matthew Rosa

HF: Mark Lecras, Jack Darling, Chris Masten

F: Andrew Embley, Josh Kennedy, Nic Naitanui

Foll: Dean Cox, Scott Selwood, Luke Shuey

I/C: Sam Butler, Andrew Gaff, Josh Hill, Sharrod Wellingham


In: Beau Waters, Mark Lecras, Sharrod Wellingham
Out: Adam Selwood (old age), Quinten Lynch (Treason), Patrick McGinnity

Vulnerable: Josh Hill, Andrew Embley (still haven't forgotten the toe poke)
On the cusp: Dick, Nicoski, Selwood, McG, Mitch Brown (with us for the next 12 months) 
On the cusp*...of being a Doctor: Swift, M.D

*where cusp is 5-10 years.
