Best 22 so far

[PaulP]

If you’re in your third year, you’re no longer a kid and if that team doesn’t cut the mustard we’re looking at our sixth 5 year rebuild in a row.

If we’re in any way relying on Gibbons, E Curnow and Simpson we’ll be bottom eight. It’s all or nothing folks. We need to move on and it’s our time.

If he’s fit, Cunningham will be our best small forward

Kids is a catch all term to describe players that haven't yet fully developed, whether that be age, games played, body shape / size, mental attributes etc.

Several weeks ago I spent 3 or 4 hours listening to a bunch of podcasts and videos, mainly from Champion Data. I took copious notes at the time, and if I get a chance I'll post those on here. I was mainly interested in their thoughts on 2019 generally and of course our season. Daniel Hoyne from Champion Data made it clear that there was no change in the way we played between Bolton and Teague. What changed was personnel, not game plan, and specifically, Murphy and Ed in the guts. This has a domino effect and leads to what Hoyne calls a forward half game, which is considered to be a pillar of what he calls "sustainable footy." At any rate, the point I'm making is that I don't think any of those old blokes, especially Murphy and Ed, will be displaced unless whoever displaces them matches or betters their output.
