2010 PREMIERS

[Cruiseon]

We drafted the only Premiership player available, every rookie should look to Blair and see that anything is possible with the right club.

I doubt a rookie would every play in a Grand Final at St.Kilda where they hold back the younsters (and recruit players like Gamble & Polo). Geelong & probably the Bulldogs aren't known for throwing young guys into the deep end. Freo have changed their approach much to their benefit.

Though I agree with the Saints and the young-guns...

The Dogs did play Hooper in his first match in a final (though they probably should've played him earlier)... And the Cats blooded Joel Selwood and Harry Taylor pretty well as first years!

Pies Rookie success is second to none though :)

[Cruiseon]

Selwood is an incredible exception. I wonder if there has ever been a better first year player, especially when you consider he also snagged a flag.

Collingwood had a reputation for starting players in finals in the 60's and 70's. Don't remember how it worked for them though.

[ossie85]

lol Bunyip, good call :)

times have changed :P

[bunyip]

 ;D I wasn't having a go at Collingwood then oss, what I meant was I don't remember if the players went on :)

[reesbr]

Im here boys!! Glad this thead is still going!!

[ossie85]

That is is RB.

Luke Ball looks likely to put his hand up for a leadership role. I have no problems with that.

From memory last year was Maxwell, Pendles, Swan, O'Brien, Jolly, Shaw and O'Bree?

In: Ball, Out: O'Bree?

Or has Dids or Benny J proved themselves for a shot? Or should Cloke be appeased? Maybe even Daisy

But Ball would be the natural choice IMO. He has captained a club before

[bunyip]

The hell with it, stick them all in :)

[ossie85]

Good point Bunyip, good point.

We'll make Swan and Pendles co-captains, so they don't abandon us :(

[Cruiseon]

No chance, Pendles is a lock. Might even get his older brother on the rookie list this year.

[ossie85]

Yes, I've been thinking of Kris. He does look like he can play a bit

[bunyip]
