After Apeness retirement due to his knee injuries, I have very Little expectation on Harley Bennell.If Harley plays a full season, Ballaz plays well, along with Walters, the Hill brothers, Sandilands and our new recruits, we should have a better year. Apparently pre season has been much better. Let’s see it on the field.
People were upset that Ballantyne got another season. I wasn't. He had to besigned for one more season despite being 32 in july this year. Some Thought Sandilands was done despite being 36 years old in 2019. People forget about our draft situation we only had picks 5,77,95 and 113 before trade week which was a 1st, 5th, 6th and 7th rounder.
We all know what Happened during trade week. we managed to bring in experienced players and managed to get a mid 1st , a mid 2nd and a mid 3rd rounder. We don't have the oldest list, we don't have the youngest, age wise we are in the middle. we have only 3 guys aged 30 or older (sandi, Ballas and mundy). We have a lot of kids aged 23 or under.
Its those blokes in that prime 24-29 year old bracket in Fyfe, Hills, Matera, Wilson, Hamling, Hogan, Lobb etc have to be the main guys to push Freo up the ladder.
