Could we see and all Adelaide 11?

With the rise of the Toure brothers and Milesenic, while also having some fantastic quality in the midfield from local products the positions that Visa players would usually fill can and have largely been taken by Aussies and to a large extent AUFC products.
Given we have some of these guys on long term contracts you have to wonder what the chances are of seeing an all AUFC home grown 11 sometime in the next few years, injuries and transfers willing. With players like Tongik, Goodwin, Warland, Kamau Mabil and Garuccio always floating around plus other youth players like Brook it certainly is not out of the question.
Toure.....Toure....Mileusenic
...............Mcgree...................
..........Mauk......D'Arrigo......
?.........Elsey....?........Strain.
.................Izzo.....................
There are certainly local CB and LB options for the future. Warland and Garuccio obvious picks.
First of all, what a position to be in! Being able to potentially field a competitive Aleague side with club grown talent. I cannot think of a club that has even remotely come close to this.
Second, In a league of bland franchises and the continual merry go round of players collecting Aleague clubs. An all AUFC 11 is certainly something I can get behind and have some pride in. I think Verbeek, Bruce and the owners are steering us to a good place.
