No guarantees ofcourse but looking solid.
Might be able to add a couple of newbies such as current GWS tall forwards seeking opportunities such as James Stewart (197cm) and Adam Tomlinson (193cm).
Mason Wood (192cm) from the Kangas goes alright too.
Josh Battle (192cm) in the u18s is one to watch too and potentially also the ineligible Giants academy prospect Todd Marshall (197cm).
We're hopeful with Kristian Jaksch (196cm) too.
I see Jacob Weitering (195cm) as being the 'new breed' tall defender/forward who could easily cause many headaches as a key forward in his own right and potentially as an onballer/midfielder of the future. The sky is the limit for this exceptionally talented kid!
Agree....Curnow and Silvagni are what we need to replace the likes of Everitt and Walker going forward......Curnow has big X factor being able to play forward and run on the ball and Jack will give us a reliabel 3rd tall forward in the Gunston mode..
Josh Battle is impressive..reminds me of an early Jack Darling....
I'd be happy to take any of the GWS youth including Stewart and Tomlinson....others dont seem to agree but I like Will Hoskin-Elliott as well...
