Sorry, I don't want those peanuts from Essendon shoving us around and blokes like Kerridge, Boekhorst and the like squibbing it again, as they have done b4. Add a number of more so called 'senior' players to that list too.
I get the kids theme - I think those kids though stood up better than Murphy, Gibbs and co last week when the heat was on - so each to their own. The way our kids stood up - was a MAJOR tick for Bolts, SOS and the young players themselves. We tipped Hogan and Lewis over the edge. Thanks boys! Suckers!!! Did you see how Weitering went at Lewis without even hesitating. Yep, give me more of this robust, young, red hot blooded kids whose blood boils when another young teammate cops a sucker punch or has opposition hassling them. They're ready!
I'd back in our kids compared to that of our so called 'mature' age players. Sorry, no thanks.
Relative to who on our list?
Not sure you can put Kerridge in the same category as Boekhorst, or how you even arrived at that conclusion.
Kerridge has never had trouble winning the ball at stoppages when working inside, the thing everybody hates about him is his use of the ball and apparent lack of leg speed. I don't see much difference between Kerridge and Graham, and Graham might have many deficiencies but he is not soft.
