Absolutely 110% well said. Much better than over the hill 29 to 30 year olds coming here to retire on inflated money.I think the Academy players should be congratulated. Never gave up against a top NEAFL team
The better ones we know - but what of lesser lights Williams Dawson and Kempe 19 diposals each and Spencer in defence - very underrated IMO
Surely keeping these locals playing together into the future is way better than bringing in yet another bunch of interstate depth players... (any coincidence Joyce is our most surprising Rookie this year)
