Agreed Joff - it's the type of performance that builds self belief and that can lead to accelerated improvement.The confidence those kids will take out of that game will be massive well done pies
I was wrong.
Ollie and Fin are gonna be alright, more than alright
Bianco is tired, but will be a star.
Ruscoe could end up being one of our most important down back in the years to come.
Poulter and McCreery willslot straight in next year.
trading that first round pick to get all of these kids - looking better and better as the year goes on.
Im sorry, I was wrong
His kicking out of defence has been a revelation - both in execution and direction.When we recruited Ruscoe I said we'd round our eventual Langdon replacement. Didn't think he was five times the better kick though
I thought Josh Thomas was fantastic early. He looked to have some real zip with his running down players and used the pill well. He has had a very good year despite his critics on this forum.
Ruscoe was good but he is not a Langdon replacement. He might be a better kick but Langdon was certainly a far better mark.When we recruited Ruscoe I said we'd round our eventual Langdon replacement. Didn't think he was five times the better kick though
Agreed Rob so much harder to shut down than 2 or 3Been a while since we've had 10+ goalkickers
Firstly, no AFL team with intent would lose against what the eagles dished up.
Albeit this needs to be tempered by just how poor eagles were.
But still it looks good for the future that the young guys contributed and looked capable.
Part of that terrible play was the pressure direct attacking play through the corridor to the advantage of the leading forward puts on the opposition.Yes the Eagles where Terrible but also we made them pay for it
Can we now comfortably say - Ollie, McCrae, McCreery, Ginnivan have the talent to make it?
I say that’s a definite yes - only poor attitude stops them from here.
So a big tick to our recruiters to have made such solid picks in a single year - with McMahon and Reef still looking likely prospects.
The new Coach will have a lot to work with, and a return to contention may be sorter than we think.
A very good win and a pleasant surprise at the progress of some of our kids.
