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.
North Melbourne โ Wayne Carey
With Ben Brown out of form and currently sidelined, the Shinboners are in dire need of a tall target inside fifty.
With this being their major woe, it should confuse nobody that Wayne Carey is North Melbourne's pick in our fantasy draft.
At his zenith, Carey measured 192cms and 97kgs โ truly the dimensions of a footballer blessed by some form of divine intervention.
His average of over 2 and half goals across 272 games would also skyrocket the Kangaroos back up the ladder.
In similar circumstances to Hird at Essendon, โThe Duck' may not be welcome back inside the four walls of Arden Street. Still, if his on-field exploits were the only criteria for selection, then the Roos have made out like bandits with their selection.
