It's a problem we'll hopefully be able to stop after this lot.
I watched Brisbane vs hawthorn and realised something. Daniel Rich, Mitch Robinson, Dane zorko, Dane beams, Alan Christensen, Lewis Taylor, Luke hodge even Charlie Cameron is 23.
They are playing kids with much more accomplished senior players who actually bring something to the team besides experience.
This is why we are struggling. We hope our kids will be better off for it, but but we are running them around with Cameron o Shea, Sam kerridge, and whilst we have some handy types they aren't blisteringly fast or skilled enough or strong enough or classy enough to compete and carry the load for kids around them.
Yep... and that's the problem!
We have gone overboard on the rebuild and left ourselves lacking in that mid age range of players.
It's not irretrievable and Liddle actually mentioned it in an interview last week.
We've been to the draft three times
Our emphasis this year will now shift to acquiring some quality mid-age range players (uncontracted and free agency)
