Roost it far

22 is youthful in my book, and the guys out of the VFL have that "this is my last chance to make it" hunger which is also youthful in it's essence. I love that we're playing the kids early.These are the guys who haven't got old systems ingrained in them. They should by rights pick up the newer game style more easily. I also think they provide a great energy boost to the older players, especially after the last few seasons dramas. I think it's a smart play by the club. I want to win but I'll take a narrow loss full of effort, glimpses of game plan and solid games by Oliver and Petracca.

You can add Windsor, JVR and a few others to the youthful players in the team.

You’re quoting just one part of my post.

Congratulate everyone but remind them that we have to win. I've been bagging Collingwood and Carlton fans hard and I can ill afford the return fire should we lose.

Hawthorn are a wait and watch for me. I look at their list and think they're bottom 6 but I watch how they play and think top 6. I think if you pressure them hard and can shut down a couple of their small forwards you'll beat them. You need to be on your game though because they can score heavily and fast. Meek is a good ruck and he's the type that bothers Gawn. Their mids aren't as strong as ours but they play with an energy that we didn't last year.

I’m talking about the further injection of youth. Our team is full of kids.

I’d much prefer Essendon to win. There’s not a player I like at hawthorn bar frost

You could of just moved to Castlemaine 😂

Looks like last year? Johnson, Henderson and Langford don’t even play for us last year

Who cares about Josh Carr

It’s genuinely exciting and I reckon watching the Tigers should give us all encouragement for what’s coming up. Sharp has experience, you can say the same for Johnson and Henderson and Langford and Lindsay are high, ready to play draftees and Jefferson appears to have shown enough to get his chance. I say bring it on, I’d much rather be here than where Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon are.

I think he’s going to turn out a very solid contributor for us

I absolutely will (notice my 3 word answer)

I’d absolutely love for AJ to make a position his own for the year. I think he’d make us stronger structurally. Turner and Jefferson competing for the other tall role…….First up…..Matthew Jefferson

I’m all for it. With Pickett, Spargo, TMac, Melksham, McVee and Tholstrup all likely to return it seems we have a bit of extra depth about the place.

As in not injured??

🤦‍♂️

What little hope GWS had has all but evaporated. We’ve got the exuberant youth to go with our megastars. A win is all but guaranteed

I’d agree that Billing’s doesn’t fit our team’s vibe. He’s got that nervous energy about him, a lack of true belief even though he’s been a solid footballer for years now. He should be leading the younger players, I don’t see it and hope one of Woewodin, Tholstrup or even Laurie jump ahead of him.

Which one of their 3 flags was suffering?

With the amount of rubbish I’ve dumped on Collingwood and Carlton friends I really need a Demon win.

I’ve never enjoyed a Richmond win but that was awesome

Voss is a total spud

I am, it’s awesome watching sides like that win games.
