I agree:1. Newman. I think he has had a tough year and has helped him grow as a leader. His interview on 'one week at a time' was very classy and honest. I couldn't forsee any of the other tiger players doing as good a job as he did (perhaps Foley). As captain, he doesn't have to be the best player, but he does have to set the example on field. I would love Lids to be captain but I don't see him aspiring to be captain of this club. Cotchin, yes, but not for a few years. Or perhaps give it to Trengrove in 4 years!!
2. Grow our own. Unless its a trade for a player on the fringe or a late round pick.
3. Whoever Hardwick thinks he can work with and will help this footy club move forward.
Newy's first year wasn't too bad. I think he'll grow into it.
2. Ruckmen: our ruck stocks are good enough. Wouldn't mind keeping Simmo but hoping he played at Coburg most of the time while gus and vickery dominated.
Our midfield needs a lot of work though.
3. Assistants are much of a muchness too.
