VFL Round 17: Northern Blues vs. Collingwood at the MCG

Will be interesting EB to see who tries... I reckon we could just about name the best right now and we'd get most of 'em right.

Shift Watson to defense and let White beat up somebody his own size, seriously, he can't be any faster than Watson can he?

Gees it would nice to have some quality senior types at the NBs to guide the kids... our development is a deadest joke.

Alas, Prof, White actually does have real pace. His issues are between his ears. Watson would be left in his wake.

But I agree totally with your last point: we need some experienced heads out there to guide our kids. Back in the day we had that, and our kids prospered. Now we have kids who barely know what they are doing trying to provide leadership and not knowing what it is about.
We made an extremely good decision to recruit McGuinness as an assistant coach and player for the NBs this year. It is a pity that he is injured, but he was the sort of guy we needed back there. A couple more guys like that who care and who have the ability to guide our kids is exactly what we need. Not some showboat who is after the money and who doesn't put in: the old Bullants had guys like that when the alignment started. We need hard, resilient heads who can show our kids what they must do.
