Nope.  4 years ago we had aging stars.

Now we have cripps, fisher, Docherty and curnowfidis.  Dow, Marchbank, Weitering and SPS.

All look like ten year players.  We have a future.  Three years ago, we had Chris Judd, Bryce Gibbs,  Marc Murphy and Kreuzer who we couldn't get on the Park.

We are in a much better position without the wishful thinking.

It doesn't mean success will come,  but we have built a base that can be built on now.

4 years ago we had the following players in the 21-24 age group on the senior list.

Gibbs
Yarran
Garlett
Robinson
Henderson
Tuohy
Bell
Lucas
Everett
Ellard
Watson
McInness
and
Kreuzer
Casboult
E. Curnow

So 4 years ago, 3 of our 15 (next generation) players are left, the rest are no longer on the list.

Of course i could expand that further to include 18-20yo's as well, you know the future of the club...
Menzel
Buckley
Holman
Bootsma
Temay
Giles
and
Graham
Docherty
Cripps

So we only have 6 out of 24 players from our 'future' still on our list.
18 out of 24 players aged 18-24, are NO LONGER on our list.

Tell me again why our 'aging' list was the problem?

We can't get too caught up with our kids being locked in as we can see from above, we've been very wrong before. Doesn't have to be just about talent either.
Players want out.
Players go off the rails.
Players get injuries.
Players get booted out.
