Very strong position to be in.
We'll need to offer some decent contracts in the next few years if we want to keep all of our high quality kids.
But it's not a bad situation to be in.
Another thing we'll need to get right is deciding who we can trade out while they still have the potential tag, in the past we've kept players too long and their trade value has evaporated.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

I agree kruddler, but it's a simple fact of life that players in successful teams get noticed more than players with equivalent output in less successful teams. And it's not just in sport. Injustice is a very real component of the human condition.

He will probably never gain the positive yardage that Simmo does but Bolton's short kicking possession game plays right into his skill set because he has always had the ability to run hard (not necessarily fast) to create space to receive a short pass and he is also good at hitting a target with a short kick.
Has never been afraid to put his body on the line but he surprised me yesterday with how well he competed over his head when the ball was kicked (too high) to him in the forward line. If he didn't mark it, he usually managed to bring the ball to ground.
Brock Maclean style.
Twice he was standing in the goal square for the quick handball and goal but was overlooked.
2024... Moir of the same to come

Wrapped that you mentioned this. Like last week and probably even better, he was contributing well when the heat was on. Our 'lesser lights' sure did contribute well/play their part... Graham, ASOS, Wright (fast becoming the delisted free agent of the decade!), Kerridge (disposal was better but still some howlers!), Smedts... first year blokes SPS and Willo look right at home and will only improve!
One of the best 'even' performances from our boys in a long, long time. Everyone seemed to pull their weight. No passengers. No excessive reliance on a few brilliant individuals.
What a test it will be against the Aints ...a good side in very good form.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
