How many of thw young blokes will take that 'next step' in becoming very good to elite players consistently?
Who knows, but there are truly plenty who could....
Charlie, SPS, Weiters, Plow, Marchbank, Dow, Pickett, Garlett, Harry Mc, Kennedy and (even) Lang can all become wow players....
And no doubt I've overlooked a few eg Willo.....
After all, Crippa exploded onto the scene at age 20.
How many 'go bang' will determine where we finish.
One certainty is that those who could go bang, in number, exceeds most clubs.
So Paul P, no we aren't that far off it.
flyboy, your enthusiasm and optimism for the current regime appears to emanate from a well that never runs dry. In a way I wish I was more like you. But I simply don't see it. A team that finishes 14th and 16th, with 2 great senior players gone or out injured, with a whole bunch of kids who got of nappies 5 minutes ago, is, IMO, a team that is miles away. Latent potential is precisely that. Nothing more, and nothing less. There's nothing that I can see that indicates we will move up the ladder much next season. But I remain, as always, hopeful.
