Good little article about Flash and leadership.

''The funny thing is,'' said Davey. ''There's going to be kids now asking parents for that Liam Jurrah haircut!''

absolute LOL

So exciting to think of the prospect of Davey being there to play with LJ, Aussie, Bennell and the likes of Scully, Trengove, Watts, Grimes and Ferawley for the next 3-5 years and beyond once Davey is no longer playing.

Haven't looked forward to a season like this one in... well, never. Not because I think we're a show in for finals, top 4 in 2012 and a flag in 2013. But because we have a genuinely exciting team of young players that a re a joy to watch in full flight.

Once these guys get used to playing with each other, understand each other's games a bit better, and we start to play with some consistency (week after week, season after season), we are going to be something special.

Davey would have been my choice for captain, obviously that is coming from an outsider. My worry with Green is that when he eventually starts to decline, it will be fast (hopefully not until 2012 at least).

From the article:

and rookie Kelvin Lawrence, another West Australian Davey believes could play senior football this year.

Hope we get to see him go around next week.

My worry with Green is that when he eventually starts to decline, it will be fast (hopefully not until 2012 at least).

On what do you base that comment? Green is a tough hard at it player who suffers no chronic injuries and is not prone to hammy injuries etc, so I can see him going for as long as his body stands up to the rigors of the game; he could easily be leading the club for the next 4 seasons.
