Nick Austin take a bow again.... Pick 45 is 'burning it up!' About time we found a diamond in the back end of the draft, and Austin did it.

Yes. Just.
24 possessions, 10 marks, 3 tackles, 406 metres gained. Not a bad day's work!!
He along with Cowan have been revelations this year, Matt Carrol would have joined them as well with a bit of luck.

Never had an issue with the individuals he picked.......but any danger you could get a balanced list together?

Meanwhile we have Kemp up forward who is too scared to take a shot at goal......and Young who we've shopped around but nobody wanted.
Doesn't fill you with confidence in that area now does it.

Poor old Lewis Young could play like Kouta in the last quarter of the 99 Preliminary Final and he'd still cop it. Played all over the ground, 18 possessions, 6 score involvements, a couple of clearances and almost 200 m gained..... almost identical to Mac Andrews who was considered on of the Sun's best and was on the ground 20% longer than Young. Probably need to ask his team mates how they rate his performance based on the role he was given which might be more valid than us in the bleachers.

If Young could kick and make quicker, better decisions, he could have b been anything,
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Correct but given our current Key Position stocks he will be ours for a little while longer, warts and all.
