Agree 100% gents. What a great test for our young group!

We can call it Gallipoli or Verdun, a great test for young men! :o

It's completely naive to think CheatsFC won't take every opportunity to beat up on the list full of young players! CheatsFC are the old roosters fully intending to regain their hutch after having been locked in exile while the blood lines were purified! It'll be a Cock fight, except one team will be a Bantam!

Never said they may not try to be physical. This is AFL. This happens every week. Naive to think it has, and will only, be this week against the Dons. I'll back our younger core group in.

Mitch Brown has already ruined one of Weiterings shoulders.  We dont need a repeat performance for the sake of educating and breaking our youngsters to play in fear for the rest of their careers.

Actually, I think that most of our new blokes enjoy "flying the flag".  They just need some big, mature bodies in there with them.

Come to think of it SPS and Pickett look like they could become handy at close quarters?

Wish we could magically squirt 30 games of experience into those two... yes, I know, patience...

PS Tommy W was my smokie to become a ripper, there's something special about him I reckon. Big engine, good size and most importantly, an old fashioned footballer. Good luck if you get in the 22 son.

Looks like Palmer for Armfield, fair enough. If Rowe doesn't come up they must be thinking McKay forward, Weitering to defense. If Cripps doesn't come up, Williamson??

I was impressed with Kerr in the practice match against the Tigers.  He knows how to play and has the physical attributes to be a KPP.  He doesn't mind a bit of rough stuff either  :)

However, he's a long term prospect and I'd be very surprised if he gets a call up this year.
