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.
Sydney โ Adam Goodes
With Lance Franklin sidelined, the young Swans have lacked an effervescent senior talent to help fast track their talent.
With the inclusion of Adam Goodes at his brilliant best, these cygnets would have one of the games greatest talents at their disposal.
Goodes possessed the ability to play anywhere on the ground, so should any part of the Sydney's performance be giving coach John Longmire grief, he would only need to shift one magnet.
The inclusion of Adam Goodes would also allow for the footballing public to make amends for their role in his sad departure. It would also permit us to read over the great man's shoulder as he writes his final chapter.
