All I know is that we have some serious talent on our list right now. It’s now a matter of developing them and having it all put together on field. No pressure but it’s all about coaches now.

Coaches, Russell & the players themselves. The talent is definitely there. They need to step up and take responsibility

I know this is in jest but seriously depth thread has merit IMO. Plenty to discuss there and get positive vibes about as Northern Blues climb to a premiership. Could happily be retired then perhaps...
Co exist
Peaceful harmony between threads. Thats what Lennon was on about. It's deep .....
Kennedy only had half a quarter where wasn’t playing injured, and that was on the back of twin shoulder recos and a limited preseason. He still managed to average about 18 disposals with 1 full functioning limb.
He’ll play every game he’s fit, hopefully 22.

You answered your own post
You may well be right as he played 12 games this year whilst obviously unfit.
Expectations need to be tempered with Kennedy.

The AFL won't let us go undefeated Crush, Crows fans are expecting Pick 1.
I'd disagree. That line of thinking is passive-reactive. And would possibly be why we failed to develop talent previously. Yes, coaches need to do their part. But the job of the new draftee is not to just "have talent". They need to be self-motivated, love challenges, set high goals and push themselves top reach their potential. Ie. Cripps. You wants players who want to be the best, not just do the minimal to "play footy" or "be content with being an average player".
So, it is not all about the coaches. The players are not just computers, whereby the coaches can just hookup the players to a PC and perform firmware updates as they wish. Conversely, it is very much so about the players.

This is from afl.com and I can't believe we are 17th for defence.
17. CARLTON An injury that is likely to rule co-captain Sam Docherty out for the entirety of the 2019 season again depletes Carlton's young backline. Although Jacob Weitering, Lachie Plowman, Caleb Marchbank and Lochie O'Brien are early picks, they're all relatively inexperienced and will be forced to carry a lot of the workload next season. Nic Newman is a handy pick-up from the Swans and will aid Kade Simpson and O'Brien in providing some run out of defence. Tom Williamson returns from a season on the sidelines to give the Blues some depth alongside Liam Jones and Harrison Macreadie. However, the fact is this is a team that ranked last for points against in 2018. It's why the Blues are ranked so poorly and why they must improve significantly for the team to rise up the ladder.
B: Nic Newman, Jacob Weitering, Lachie Plowman
HB: Lochie O'Brien, Caleb Marchbank, Kade Simpson
C: Ed Curnow, Will Setterfield, Marc Murphy
HF: Sam Petrevski-Seton, Charlie Curnow, Paddy Dow
F: Mitch McGovern, Harry McKay, Alex Fasolo
FOLL: Matthew Kreuzer, Patrick Cripps, Zac Fisher
I/C: Matthew Kennedy, Tom Williamson, Dale Thomas, Sam Walsh
Defender depth: Sam Docherty*, Angus Schumacher, Harrison Macreadie, Hugh Goddard, Ben Silvagni, Liam Jones
Forward depth: Jack Silvagni, Tom De Koning, Jarrod Garlett, Cam Polson, Patrick Kerr, Levi Casboult, Kym LeBois, Matt Owies, Finbar O'Dwyer, Tom Bugg, Jarrod Pickett*
Midfield depth: Darcy Lang, David Cuningham, Liam Stocker
Ruck depth: Matthew Lobbe, Andrew Phillips

Can’t believe as thought we’d be ranked 18th?
All a bit unfair anyway as alot of our issues with being heavily scored against resulted from turnovers further up the ground and being caught on the back foot on the rebound time and time again.
With better skill, stamina and pressure all over the ground would expect it to ease pressure on our defensive unit and up we will surely rise on the all critical afl.com ‘defensive ladder’

No SPS or Fasolo?
SPS in. Fasolo not yet full training and has missed nearly a full season. I think we will go for fully fit players
Good effort. I'd have only Garlett and Bugg as question marks. Others might have Setterfield, Fasolo, Thomas as other possible ins.
Likely Round 1 team
B Weitering, Jones, Plowman
HB Simpson, Marchbank, Newman
C O'Brien, Kennedy, Thomas
HF Fisher, Charlie Curnow, SPS
F Fasolo, McKay, McGovern
R Kreuzer, Cripps, Murphy
INT Walsh, Setterfield, Dow, Ed Curnow
Let's see how close I am to being right
