NEW: Ben Camporeale, 18, 186cm, Brighton/Glenelg; Harry Charleson, 18, 183cm, East Point/GWV Rebels; Francis Evans, 23, 182cm, Port Adelaide AFL; Ethan Phillips, 25, 197cm, Hawthorn; Cooper Vickery, 20, 181cm, Sydney
The good: We have 10 listed players playing. We didn't managed that often in 2024.
We have some talent coming through. Ben C deserves his rating; he played 6 games last year at U18 level and was BOG in all of them. That says something.
Our VFL listed players look slightly stronger this year. Ethan Phillips looks decent at CHB; I liked his marking last week.
Bad: As Kruddler pointed out, we have very little senior experience out there; 4 guys for less than 100 games. We also have Vickery who played at Sydney and Warburton who has been seen at this level. Other than that, we seriously lack experience and leadership.
I hope Hayes plays, as he is a leader.
We may have 12 AFL listed guys unavailable, but it is when you look at this that it shows just how that has affected us.
Cooper Hamilton? Is he going to be like some of the no-shows that clogged our list last year? I hope not.
Yep, really looking forward to watching this game, with eyes, naturally, on senior listed players.
