If we want depth we need to keep and develop players who aren't currently good enough to get a game. Players like Kersten and T-bone need to develop.
But watching us yesterday you realise how important the old guys are. Sandi, Ballas, D Pearce, Johnno, Fyfe, Mundy and Neale. Fyfe and Neale may be there when we are a force again in a couple of years. The others will be gone, but they deserved their place yesterday. It will be a couple of years before the young guys carry the team.
If you look at the slime, they have a few good young players, but their core is experienced. Kennedy, Darling, Le Cras, Gaff, Shuey, Notacluey, Lycett, Hurn, Shepherd, Masten, Schofield, Hutchings, Jetta, McKenzie and some other 25 year+ players.
For us its obvious to me that A Pearce, Ryan, Tabs, Darcy, Cerra, Brayshaw, Gray, Langdon, Blakely, Banfield and possibly Logue, Hughes and Crowden will be (or already are) awesome (or at least very useful). I'm definitely seeing the glass half full. Just not quite ready to drink yet.
