*Dangerfield has already made him debut

Jesus.Hows the pressure on Taylor Walker to perform

Leading goal kickers all-round, for a teenager who hasnt played a game

Partially high hopes, partially condemnation of the scoring abilities of the rest of our forward line.

Also interesting to see how few people expect Cook to make his debut. Forgotten because he wasn't on the list in the OP?

Highest H&A Attendance = attendance at a home and away game...the grand final isn't in the home and away season...but yes, lets hope that is correct and we kick their sorry arses

Not much confidence in tippet developing it seems, an awful lot of assumption based on walkers zero games in afl.
