Our best 22 - Post Draft

[jetta2davey]

There is a big difference between running around a training track and being involved in 100 contests against 110kg gorillas every week.

It took Hille until he was 25 to be able to do that.

You think a 19 year old can do it?

Yeah i agree that it would be a bold move to throw him to the wolves, but he showed enough in the couple of games he played last year to suggest that he wasn't out of his depth, didn't have a huge impact, but didn't look at all uncomfortable.

Could not be worse than what Laycock was on numerous occasions throughout the year

Zaharakis?

Any chance of this man getting a game?

If he remaines fit and displays good form at Bendigo then i can definitely see him getting a few games, but he will most likely spend most of his time in the reserves.

It will more so be the second and third year players stepping up and getting more games.

I dont think hocking will play 20 games. I dont see what he has done on the footy feild to warrant that. You have gotta be a big fan of his.
Hes shown tallent but i put alot of other players ahead of him. Hopefully im wrong and he turns out to be better. what makes u think he will play so many games?

Matthew Knights clearly stated he had big plans for Heath to play in midfield. He compared him to Cameron Ling in early '08. Using him in similar run-with roles. As he has elite strength and was the fittest player at the club last pre season. It came from the coach's mouth, not mine.

Obviously injury curtailed his season. But we do need tougher players like Heath, so I think it's worth a shot.
