Howe, Jeremy

Jones, Nathan

Toumpas, Jimmy

Trengove, Jack

Viney, Jack

maybe:

Barry, Dom

Jones, Matt

Kent, Dean

McDonald, Tom

Sylvia, Colin

Watts, Jack

our midfield has a lot of holes.

None are probably born yet.

None are probably born yet.

Probably Nathan Jones and Jack Grimes are my definites

Billy Stretch.

None are probably born yet.

Ah yes but they were being made soon after our 12 goal last quarter two weeks ago!

Max Viney

Looking at that list, I noticed one thing, the ages. The players i personally rate and come up in conversation and debate about, are all the young ones.

Viney- 19

Toumpas- 19

Hogan- 18

Trengove- 21

Evans- 20

Mcdonald- 20

Kent- 19

Taggert- 19

Gawn- 21

Barry- 19

Davis- 20

Fitzpatrick- 21

Tynan- 19

Tapscott- 21

They are all under 22 years old.

Then the players who are 22-24

Watts- 22

Strauss- 22

Blease- 22

Howe- 22

Grimes- 23

Nicholson- 22

Mckenzie-22

So the youth on the list is very good. Especially the players under 21. If we just bring in a few extra coaches, or some more senior players. I really think we can be a very good side in 2-3-4 years time.

Nathan Jones, as a Futurama head in a jar.

Jack Viney's son: Matthew Viney.

Those ages show us that if we keep that group together we will have success. Now that may be a premiership or it may be continuous finals series you can never tell what will happen.

This is a really good reflection of where we are at, another 4 years development into that group and we should be a very handy team, it's just simply going to take time and the right people to build that

Any club in the land can put together a similar under 22 list.

Garry Lyon's boys any good?
