Love Ed but if we are still giving him a game at this stage of his career we aren’t as deep as we think we are. Same with the kids, one maybe but two? If they were top two in the draft I could see it but they just aren’t physically strong enough yet to play big matches.
Hope I’m wrong
I’m pretty sure that you’re wrong.
Lachie and Ollie have shown that they’re ready for footy at AFL level. Ollie’s running is elite and his tank is good enough to enable him to win or halve contests after sprinting the length of the ground. Lachie is hard at it and his second and third efforts are not what you’d expect from a draftee. Dermott Brereton was full of praise for the young man and he’s not easily impressed.
As for Ed, he’s shown enough to make it very difficult for whoever he matches up against.
