Really, when you look at the genuine talent of many of our youngsters, we have much to be excited by. Young top end talent has no ceiling, and performances/results, although should be tempered by supporters, can come quickly.

Think....

Patrick Cripps
Sam Docherty
Jacob Weitering
Charlie Curnow
Jack Silvagni
Harry McKay
David Cuningham
Caleb Marchbank
Jarrod Pickett
Lachie Plowman
Sam Petrevski-Seton
Ciaran Byrne

Then...
Zac Fisher
Harrison Macreadie
Patrick Kerr
Cam Polson
Tom Williamson
Kym Lebois


Anything could happen!!!  ;D

it's a bit like that, isn't it.

i just want our lads to play uncompromising, hard footy for 4 quarters  whilst keeping stoopid turnovers to a minimum.

Do that and we'll take care of the Tiges comfortably.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Agree with this 100%. The silly turnovers, particularly in our back half, has killed us in recent years.

I wonder whether the turnovers were the result of the more aggressive ball movement Bolton wants to bring in  :-\

No, just blokes like White crapping their pants in defence.

That said, our mids need to be more defensively minded too.

How often does the ball head toward our opponent's goals like a freight train with little or no pressure?

I think that's where the aggressive ball movement can be damaging ... to us.  I have seen more than a few chains of possessions broken by a kick or handpass that wasn't executed well enough and the rebound catches us with our pants down.  Those turnovers are particularly costly as we look like scoring only to lose the opportunity and be scored against.

It will be interesting to see whether that has been addressed on Thursday.

If we are to debut or play 5 or 6 of the 20 and under group, I think these are the most likely;

Jacob Weitering
Charlie Curnow
Jack Silvagni
David Cuningham
Caleb Marchbank
Jarrod Pickett

Keep in mind Bolton said play, not debut.

Hard to see SPS getting in ahead of those with only one internal practice match under his belt. If I had to pick a next in line I suspect one of the two smalls might be a chance, Fisher or Polson.

But there are rumors SPS has some family visiting.

I think you should be leaving rumours alone LP.

The rest I just wasted.

Are you from WA Sandsmere?

I think it's unlikely, but when a couple are from a small town like Halls Creek word gets around. They could just as easily be heading into Darwin, Broome or to Melbourne to see the F1 with their son on the last long weekend he gets until mid-season.

It's only a small town Halls Creek, when someone leaves everyone notices the lights change brightness! ;D
