Re: JLT 2018 - Carlton v Hawthorn (Sat 10th Feb)

The three stand out observations for me from last night were
(1) Kennedy - I think this guy is going to be an absolute ripper. Reminds me of Trent Cotchin and Dylan Shiel. And with the 7 on his back, almost a reincarnation of Brett Ratten.
(2) Pickett - hopefully he will learn to be a bit more present, but his ability to run and carry take me back to the days of Vinnie Catoggio! He will make plenty of opposition fans very nervous (and sometimes his teammates....). Pretty good overhead for a guy his size as well, so he may well inherit the mantle of Eddie Mk 2. Can't wait to see tandem work with Garlett.
(3) Weiters - ready to reclaim his role as a rock solid defender. Stop swinging him all over the place until he is right on top of his game. It's easy to forget he has only played 42 games, and most good judges say newbies (especially bigger guys) don't really know how to play the game until they have at least 50 under their belt.
If we play our cards right, in a couple of seasons we will have a hard core of 22-24 year olds ready to take the competition to pieces. Think Brisbane in the early 2000s......
