For some teams currently sitting outside the eight, the possibility of finals football has already evaporated.
Dismal performances, rebuilds, and tough fixtures have left the wins and losses column looking bleak and supporter's minds already cast to the upcoming trade and draft periods.
With some teams in dire need of aid in every area, others sit within a whisker of finals footy and require only a lick of polish rather than a total renovation.
This led us to contemplate that if each team outside of the eight could re-draft one club legend at their peak, who would it be?
From ninth place to the certain wooden spooners, here are our selections.
Adelaide โ Andrew McLeod and Tony Modra
Let's not beat about the bush, the Adelaide Crows are in more cacka than a Werribee quacker.
With zero wins on the board and a list containing more holes than Swiss cheese, the Crows need all the help they can get.
It is for this reason that we have decided to gift the former pride of South Australia a priority pick as well as this draft's first selection.
Despite some idiotic off-field decisions of late, even if the Crows' brass had rocks in their heads they would still select Andrew McLeod and Tony Modra with their pair of picks.
McLeod's inclusion would add polish and speed to a Crow's defense that looks to have forgotten that you can indeed run the ball out of the backline.
โBunji' also has the ability to continue his treks forward and cap them with goals.
The return of โGodra' to his rightful place in the Adelaide goal square would help arrest not only an ascending scoreboard, but a predicted decline in attendance.
With a freakish ability to sit on heads and kick bag after bag, Modra at his peak was more deity than man.
