Never thought I'd see the day...

Paul Bevan?

[liz]

No. Now you're throwing names at random

Both Jack and Barlow were in their second year's on the rookie list when they debuted. So was Bevan.

Of other recent debutants, Laidlaw was in his second year, Schmidt in his third. Grundy I think was in his third, though someone might correct me on that.

I thought you were the profile guru, anyway...

Its interesting. Not that many years ago players would play many games in the magoos before getting a regular run in the seniors. I wonder if we are reaping the benefit now of a more cautious approach with our new players, considering we have not had 'ready made' early draft pick players at our disposal?

I was looking at their profiles, when I was asking about them. lol

And I am extremely @@@@ing bored at the moment.

When in form youngsters get a call up into a Roos' squad.

But how great is it to see!!!

I'd like to know the last time we had this many <20 game players in the team at any one time. It would have to be a long time ago.

Great call & it's about time too - we have some good depth at the club & this is great for the team. Feel a bit sorry for Nick Davis, but I guess nobody can just "rock-up" & get a game.

No matter what - we have the best coach in the AFL. I wish I was as cool as Roosy

So do I mate.

Feel a bit sorry for Nick Davis.....

Because

[hudsta]

i am really happy to see "new blood" being given a go though i am sad about crouch and matthews who have been great clubmen.

Who is next to debut?

White? He has been named as an Emergency
Murphy.....maybe next year

[TheGrimReaper]

Because

Someone as to.

[goswannie14]

Because

I wondered the same, after all he has been named in the side.

[Mark Busuttil]

Because

Don't forget who beat Geelong in the 2005 Finals - he's a good player. He hasn't played for a few weeks & he's good enough to play every week

[big bear]

It's @@@@ing beautiful to see mate.

ROOSEY, Keep it up, even it it means, the likes of Hall, Mathews and Crouch find it tough to get back into the side.

Which debut player is going to keep Hall out of team. Step back and take a deep breath.

What about a model by the name of ......................................

Who mentioned deep breaths?

And Everitt, and Fosdike, and Kennelly..............Malceski, based on last weeks team. Be interesting to see what the powers that be think our Best 22 looks like with those 4 available.

Hall, Kennelly, Malceski, Everitt and SCHMIDT would all be in the best 22 (IMO)....plus maybe Fosdike and Crouch when FULLY fit, so that's up 7 players out from our best 22 at the moment (not to mention the others who are injured - Thornton and Grundy). Sheesh, guess this isn't the year when we win the premiership and everyone says we just had an unbelievably good run with injuries!
