Oracle of Delphi
Craig HillPavlich, Palmer & Purple - Add J Longmuir & C Michael For A Successful Team
September 4th 2008 02:45
Every team that doesn't win can go through the "ifs", and the Dockers would have been much better if Justin Longmuir and Clem Michael had avoided injuries and had long careers with the Fremantle Football Club.
If the Dockers had Longmuir and Michael they would have also had a few more draft picks to use, as they would not have traded for Tarrant.
If the Dockers had Longmuir and Michael, Pavlich could have gone into the middle whenever he wanted as there would still have been marking targets up forward.
If the Dockers had Michael, as well as Longmuir and Pavlich, they might have made it into the 2006 AFL Grand Final, as the Swans didn't have the height in the back line to compete.
Every team has players who could have been stars if it were not for injuries, and at Fremantle they would have been much better if Longmuir and Michael were able to reach their potential.
Longmuir kicks a goal and wins the game.
