Based on what's been said by McKay - it seems we've acquired two best 22 players for 2014. All of a sudden our 22 for R1 looks like this:
B: McIness - Jamison - Tuohy
HB: Simpson - Henderson - Walker
C: Yarran - McLean - Gibbs
HF: Thomas - Waite - Menzel
F: Kreuzer - Rowe/Cas - Garlett
R: Warnock - Murphy - Judd
I/C: Carrazzo - Robinson - Docherty
Sub: Scotland
EMG: Curnow - Bell - Rowe/Casboult
Depth: Buckley, Graham, Cachia, Lucas, Ellard, Watson, Bootsma, Duigan, White, Temay, Armfield + Rookies.
Reckon it's important to get Menz and Doc playing consistent footy asap and Scotto can be used as a regular sub if need be to allow the kids to get more time (similar to how Cats used Chappy in 2013).
I'd also like the following to happen in 2014:
- Push for top 6
- Daisy and Doc to each play 20+ games
- Yarran to improve tank and show improvement and consistency playing through the midfield
- Judd to rotate forward more often
- Give kids like Graham and Lucas 15+ games and Buckley 10+
- Depending on who we draft with 13, I'd love for that kid to be semi-ready made so can come in and play 12+ games in debut year - hasn't happened for a while
- One of our kids to get nominated for NAB Rising Star - also been an age since this has happened. Doc, Menz or Pick 13 maybe?
- Finally, push Watson to play 15-20 games in 2014 so we can finally see the transformation of Hendo to our CHF come to fruition
I'm not asking for much, am I?
