As we all know, he ended up being one of the first magnets on the board!!I think Acres is in danger of being a anti-young'. Supporters expect the world of him and might be disappointed.
So pick you best 22 in positions, then predict your '2023 Lewis Young.'
I was one who thought Ed Curnow should've been delisted as i think he is surplus to our needs, but if we get the odd injury he could cement his spot into the lineup. Come to think of it, he could be in the side playing off half back in a lockdown role. He has the tank and the defensive mindset....
Other than that, Owies i think people are underrating. He was the first picked of my small forwards due to his hard running and consistency. Doesn't always go rewarded, and mostly unnoticed, but would be tough to keep him out.
I also think Cuningham will surprise a few. Barely played in...forever...but his 2nd last game he was BOG and dominated. Hopefully he can stay fit.
For a real smokey....Cincotta. 26yo, should be right to go and may surprise.
