Carlton vs Brisbane Practice Match

[shawny]

Shawny Old Son, I get your skepticism but reckon it may be influenced by two decades of failed promises... and fair enough.

As is the case with any young side brimming with 'potential' you can't, with any certainty, label just about any bloke with less than around 60 games as a cert.

However, this young crew of ours consists of many blokes who've shown they're made of the right stuff just haven't played enough games; haven't put on the kgs; haven't got the Ks into the legs; haven't got a 'room to move' game plan and / or haven't hardened their bodies.

I reckon we've got a lot to be optimistic about with our young crew. For me, the only serious question marks remain on Cuningham and Polson. This year we'll know about Kennedy, Dow and probably O'Brien.

I agree baggers you can’t label any player under 60 games a cert but many on here talk as though they are, hence my point.

I like the look of Cunningham but he just doesn’t or can’t do it for long enough and I’m really starting to wonder.
Kennedy moves like he would be a decent inside footballer but doesn’t get the pill enough to hurt anyone.
Setterfield is a good size but again doesn’t get enough of it.
Dow disposal is awful. Another one that looks a player when he break out of a pack but then butchers it way too often.
Marchbank, Williamson should make it but their body is a worry. 
Fisher is another who looks a player has smarts but just needs to get the ball more often. If he can get it 20-25 times instead of 10-15 he will make a difference to us.
Lots of ifs buts and maybes for me to be too optimistic this year.
