I would have played Smedts for Mcreadie and that would have been my only change.
A Poster mentioned we have been in front in the last quarter vs Melbourne, Saints and North and run out of legs. Could be 5-4... But thats the challenge of playing young kids.
I know we all know it but I like to write it anyway: Carlton fielded a team with 9 players aged 18-20. North zero. And we came back from 8 goals down to almost win!
If you rounded up all the 18-20 year olds on Norths list and put them in the team against us on the weekend we'd have absolutely destroyed them. I like Bolton's "no honorable losses" message but that was some achievement.
We are absolutely on the right path. I don't mind if Palmer / Smedts / ASOS or any of the other slightly older guys come in and earn their keep. The kids are all class and there is a huge group of them coming in all together. We've got shedloads of space in the salary cap to hopefully pick out a couple of key midfielders who are also in the right age bracket (read not Fyfe).
