Happier with Clarkson after the team news this week, might not translate to changing any on field fortunes in the short term but at least we're playing more players that have scope for improvement.

Hasn't missed mate.Fear the beard yet to get it wrong so lock in what they say
If Obrien can get 9 years and 100 games Lewis and kosi can at least get a fair chance this season. Jeka too.
I'm not trying to suggest that they will give instantly better output than Obrien just that by now it doesn't appear like Obrien is going to get the job done for us.
The other 3 need to be given the opportunity this year to develop and for us to judge them. I have high hopes for the 3 of them as I did Obrien years ago.
We may find after this year that none will make it and we need to draft/trade/fa another tall but we may end up finding out which will be the next premiership forwards.
Imagine if we didn't play Roughead, Franklin and Boyle in 05,06,07.
This was my main point. We ALL concede we're rebuilding yet I doubt we have the patience..."normally" KP players need time to fill out and then get 30-40 games into them.I don't care how many bad games they put in, play Kosi and Mitch together every week they are fit like we did Buddy and Roughy. They are the future and need to learn to play with each other.
Geelongs selection of Holmes reek of recycling through their kids because there no good. Not saying Holmes wont be but i would back our younger guys over theirs anyday. They have Parfitt and Miers you would consider decent to good. Brockman has already showed more than Constable or Zac Guthrie in 2 games. Duncan and Wingard cancel eachother out. Our ins much more significant. We stop Hawkins having a meaningful impact we are a sneaky chance here. There not that much better than us on paper.
.
We comparing our strategy of playing once in a generation talents Rough and Bud to Lewis and Kosi?
Im 1000% behind our kids and certainly all for this weeks changes, but there was absolutely no doubt at all rough and bud would make it, they had X factor from day 1. Kosi wasn’t even playing forward until a few weeks ago and Lewis was pick 72 for a reason. They are speculative. Which is great! But it’s a completely different situation.
We will get more of a presence in the air just because of his sheer size. We dont have Taylor to worry about now for the 1st time in over a decade.Lewis is more of a focal point than TOB will ever be, and was crushing it at VFL. We know what TOB can produce, and we've seen enough. Time to move on.
He is the Rohan replacement. Will play forward. Is definitely a talent. Uou would think Frost takes him or if we want someone to go toe to toe pace wise with him it will be CJ.Holmes is lightning and a player we wanted to pick up geelong moved up the draft to nab him.
CJ will take Miers I reckon.He is the Rohan replacement. Will play forward. Is definitely a talent. Uou would think Frost takes him or if we want someone to go toe to toe pace wise with him it will be CJ.
Selwood is the barometer. Keep him quiet and we'll win this.We need to shut down Duncan.
Howe is too slow on the outside, so it has to be Shiels IMO. If we shut him down then their goes their best link man and best field kick.
We can back Mitchell, JOM, Worpel and Wingard to go head to head with Selwood, Guthrie, Parfitt and Higgins.
Aside from Duncan we have all watched Higgins absolutely torch us multiple times. Hopefully we can quell his and Smith's influence too.
Dimma or Impey for Miers as he gets up the ground a bit which suits both players.CJ will take Miers I reckon.
CJ will take Miers I reckon.
Higgins hasnt fired a shot yet. Been well down on his past few years. Need to remember he is well past his peak now and i doubt he was recruited to do alot of heavy lifting which he will be doing tomorow without Danger and Menegola there. He was recruited as the cream to assist the others in getting them a flag. They will need him to find his best form IMO.We need to shut down Duncan.
