Was impressed with the endeavor and heart today. Melbourne took till 20 mins into the last to put the game in the bag. Many on here predicted this mob will definitely play finals and made a good outfit look poor last week.
I know it's difficult to be positive when you have a loss but we must remember we had SOJ, C Curnow, Marchbank, SPS, mcCredie and Pickett all in today and curnow aside thought the rest were very serviceable. SOJ is the veteran of this list with 10games!!!
Hard to win with 6 players under 10 games.
Add in Weitering, plowman and cripps as more young players yet to notch 50 games and that's a very young team today.
While I'm disappointed with some of the costly errors from senior players and to lose yet again but I saw enough today to say we are tracking ahead of where I thought we would be.
I'm happy with the kids progress.
A bit of perspective needed folks.
Agree 100%. We all know what Cripps, Docherty and Weiters will bring in the next 10 years, but I already see Marchbank, Plowman, Macreadie and SPS becoming elite players. SOJ and Charlie are still very young, but I've no doubt they will become stars.
Pickett and Smedts could be anything. Love Matty Wright.
We have big Harry making huge strides with the NB's, Byrne and Phillips to return and the potential of highly rated youngsters such as Fisher, Cunningham, Lebois, Kerr and Polson.
We are in the second year of a rebuild. Expect us to target quality midfielders this draft.
When we are ready to challenge I expect that of the established players who played today only Murphy will still be there. Kreuzer has an outside chance.
IN WADA WE TRUST
