Whiley has an outside chance but I'm not confident that he, or any of the others, will make 100 games. It will be a bonus if one does.
I think that I got it wrong about Jaksch. He is showing some signs but seems to have a way to go if he is going to make it as an AFL footballer. It will be a bonus if he gets to 100 games.
Plowman looks like he will be a lock as our third tall defender for some time. He can play on taller players and moves well enough to take a small forward. I'll be disappointed if he doesn't play 100 games.
I was wrong about Phillips too. I think that he will develop into a very fine ruckman and should rack up 100 games without any problems. Lamb and Sumner have both shown a bit too and 100 games between them is highly likely.
Whiley's 'outside chance' is looking more remote.
As for Mark Fine's comments, his credibility as a football analyst is right up there with Molly Meldrum, Kate Langbrook and Marina Prior.
