Gotta say, the 'potential' future, or next era, tall forward setup for The Mighty Blues of Harry McKay (200cm), Charlie Curnow (194cm) and Jack Silvagni (191cm) is mouth-watering.
No guarantees ofcourse but looking solid.
Might be able to add a couple of newbies such as current GWS tall forwards seeking opportunities such as James Stewart (197cm) and Adam Tomlinson (193cm).
Mason Wood (192cm) from the Kangas goes alright too.
Josh Battle (192cm) in the u18s is one to watch too and potentially also the ineligible Giants academy prospect Todd Marshall (197cm).
We're hopeful with Kristian Jaksch (196cm) too.
I see Jacob Weitering (195cm) as being the 'new breed' tall defender/forward who could easily cause many headaches as a key forward in his own right and potentially as an onballer/midfielder of the future. The sky is the limit for this exceptionally talented kid!
This paints a very rosy picture. Given the way we are playing now (ie the quicker than expected improvement thus far) and the prospects coming through, there are very exciting time ahead. The future is now a lot clearer for me.
Go Blues
