Team Captain
Thought we need a new thread for this years campaign. Last year was the most successful for several years, and although didn't lead to many draftees, several boys now playing in NEAFL so still a chance over next couple of years if perform well (like the unexpected drafting of Oxley last year)
Don't know as much about this years squad - my contact was with the group of boys who were 18 last year. Anyone have much knowledge of this years squad?
I realize game on Sat was the first game they have played together so don't expect too much in terms of result, but by all reports the disappointing thing in the loss to a TAC cup team by over 100 points was the lack of intensity / effort.
Anyone at the game with thoughts? Or with more knowledge of this age group? I gather there were a few missing from the Qld team - Tickner, Dawson, maybe others. With them back and a few more games together, how competitive should the squad be this year?
