I think that is a big thing and a big positive considering those 2 boys are long term players. Kenny has already established himself as our #1 ruckman and Hentschel is fast becoming our shining light this year. Hart still has a couple of years left of footy left in him but Smart is finished.
What did you think of Hentschel's game and Jericho's debut??????
Hentschell had an excellent game IMO, at the very least 7/10, even up as high as 9/10. Did just about everything one could ask for.
He didn't seem to play that tall, in as far as preferring to spoil rather than back himself, but that will come with experience and a bit more bulk. Has good brain.
Must play every game this year going on that, and leave him at back until he gets his feet wet. He does very well back there.
Jericho certainly is interesting. Plays both tall and short (had to check his height to see if he was tall or not), plus is a goer and seems to have brains. I thought I had read on here that his body wasn't quite ready yet, but that didn't look to be the case at all.
He must be played every game as well. Just do not expect too much consistency yet. (same goes for Hentschel) Talent aplenty there.
The other things out of yesterdays game, no matter how well Johncock does in the forward line, you need him at back. Small forwards have always killed you lot. (shove bode up there, he will score a few goals and keep the ball in the area as well)
Carey should be retired early. Yes he did create a few goals, and he took a sort of overhead mark, but he seems to create more havoc with your "team play" than the opposition. It's as if a lot of your players are in awe of him. They constantly look for him even when they shouldn't.
Burton needs to play up forward. He does create a lot of contests etc from around the wing area, but he will score 30-50 goals a year, is unpredictable in the air (you need that up there), plus brain fades up there will not cost you goals. There were at least two "goals" yesterday.
