Pre Game Prognostications: AFL 2020 Rd 18: Carlton vs Brisbane

[kruddler]

From what I have seen, he seems to be bringing them in slower which is probably a better mix.  Give them a bigger role next season and see how we go.

Remember irrespective of how this season has gone, the most mature players were probaby better equipped to survive it and thrive in it simply due to time playing the game.  Repeat pre seasons, better knowledge of their body and how to get up for the following week after quick turnarounds in unfamiliar locations.

Its been interesting. 

Id really love to know where Liam Stocker is and whats going to happen there in respect to his footy.

Part of the reason they would've been brought in slower this year is they have basically no exposed form in the 2's to hone their craft.

Hard to teach the kids defensive gut running at training.

In hindsight, it was the ideal time to draft a kid who has done his knee (Kemp) as he's missed nothing, and we've missed nothing.

I would hope that some of our kids take on the same kind of personal responsibility over their careers as Cripps did when he hired his own personal running coach.
We need Dow, Obrien, Stocker etc to put in the hard yards in the off-season and come back bigger, better, stronger, faster and most of all HUNGRY.
