We Have Reason To Be Excited!

[Vagg 2,422]

Just for a bit of fun, I thought I would throw together a line up based on the players on our list who are NOT in tomorrow's 22.

Personally, I think this "other" team shows that our side has heaps of potential, and indicates our depth will be good, going forward.

Would love your thoughts...

B: Garland McNamara Cheney

HB: Bail Martin Bell

C: Gysberts Morton Blease

HF: Jetta Watts Wonaeamirri

F: Jurrah Johnson Maric

R: Meeson Tapscott Sylvia

Int: Gawn, Fitzpatrick, Bartram, Newton

Wow thats a cool way to look at it, there is definately a bit of potential brewing there. I just want to see us having a decent crack each week this year, and somehow not get so many injuries. I still cant believe how many blokes we have on the sidelines again. If we had sylvia, jurrah, morton in tomorrow, i would have no doubt that we would beat the undermanned hawks, and i have still tipped the Dees anyway... Forward line is the obvious question mark.

... Forward line is the obvious question mark.

True. But, if all six players I have named above in the forward lines were fit, had another 50 games experience, and played to their full potential, I reckon we would be in for some real excitement.

I guess only time will tell.

In the meantime, it's nice to be able to speculate about what's (or is that "watts" lol) possible...!

Potentially pretty good. I wonder how they would go against the lineup that will face the Hawks tomorrow? Obviously less experienced at the moment, but in a couple of years time they could (hypothetically) make a fist of it. I guess that confirms your view that we have reason to be excited about the future!

I think all that exercise shows is that due either to injury or youth we have a significant amount of players in the senior side that don't provide a great deal to be excited about. Unfortunately much the same can be said for the "other team".

The side for this week:

J.Bennell, M.Warnock, J.Rivers

J.Grimes, J.Frawley, J.MacDonald

A. Davey, C.Bruce, N.Jones

J.McDonald, M.Bate, R.Petterd

B.Green, B.Miller, J.Trengove

M. Jamar, L.Dunn, B.Moloney

IJ.Strauss, J.Spencer, J.McKenzie, T.Scully

If we're being honest that side is full of mediocrity and worse, and only a few players we can hope will have a real future.

Warnock, Jones, Miller, Spencer, Jamar, Dunn, Moloney, Bruce, McDonald, Rivers don't strike me as the driving forces of future success for one reason or the other.

Bennell, MacDonald,Petterd, McKenzie it's still too early to tell.

For me that leaves Scully, Trengove, Strauss, Grimes, Frawley playing this week that we can have genuine hope about taking us somewhere. But for the most part it's only hope at this stage.

As for the "other" side I'd take Garland, Gysberts, Morton, Blease, Watss, Jurrah, Sylvia. Again, most of that is 'hope'.

We can carry a fair share of mediocre players - every good team does, but I'm not excited about our 'depth'. It's all up to a handful of players either playing this week or not to make this club something. It's going to be a fair while before we can tell if they'll come through as needed though.

Until we figure out if we have a solid group of A graders, depth is meaningless.

Well Well its Mr Doom back again-I dare say you feel the current Board is full of mediocraty as well.

Let us all hope you are proved very wrong.
