We're 5 matches out from the end of the season, and I don't need to reiterate the shitty stuff that has accompanied this bizarre once in a century season, but there's actually plenty of positive stuff to report, so I want this thread to be a rolling discussion with that focus in mind.
1) Luke McDonald has matured and arrived as an AA quality rebounding defender. His continued recent form should put him squarely in the AA selectors sights.
2) The ageless Todd Goldstein has returned to his very best form. It will be a tragedy if he misses AA selection.
3) Jy Simpkin has started to emerge as a genuine quality AFL midfielder, who can impact results.
3) We have found a highly skilled, multi position player in Bailey Scott.
4) We have unearthed a defensive KPD lynch pin that can serve us for more than a decade, in Ben McKay.
5) Luke Davies-Uniake has arrived, and is now presently consolidating his base line. He gives every impression of being a truly elite AFL midfielder.
6) Nick Larkey continues to consolidate as a high quality AFL KPF.
7) Trent Dumont has continued his improvement curve and now gives us a centre square option. His disposal and decsion making have taken another step forward.
8) Curtis Taylor continued his upward improvement prior to being injured.
9) Jack Mahony is slowly building as a very promising young AFL debutante.
10) Tristan Xerri has debuted and after a long period of obscurity, he is starting to show excellent AFL big hard man traits.
11) Majak Daw returned to AFL football and showed glimpses of his best footy.
12) Jed Anderson has taken another step and improved his midfield output, whils retaining has customary hardness. Should be top 5 in the B&F.
13) Aiden Bonar has debuted and was beginning to show encouraging form prior to getting injured.
14) Kyron Hayden has returned from a long injury layoff and has given us a realistic, viable option in defence.
15) Josh Walker has arguably been the bargain trade pick up of the AFL season.
Yes, it has been a s**t year people, but there's a hell of a lot to be positive about as we look forward! Strap yourselves in!
