What's he on?
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

who? Mrakov?
Dunno, but its probably illegal.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

seems logical

in soccer no one plays every game

rotation in the logical future

the best teams have two world class players for every position

With the riches of talent we now have on our list were going to have to divide into two teams where one played one week and the other the next. RFC leading the way again!
most afl teams cant field 22s without having to play their fair share of glass half fulls how the hell do you expect them to field two.

but the sentiment is correct.
most sides go with 3 tall forwards 3 tall defenders two ruckmen and  roughly  9 or 10 mids.
 your second side should mirror this with numbers at the very least. i believe its called depth and development linked to good list management.

has anyone looked at richmonds seconds team.
ardly any talls at a stage where they can fill in and perform at a good level if needed. probably just 4 or 5 genuine mids and one 32 yr old ruckman .

lots of flankers though we just added 5 or 6 to the struggling ones we already had. i can only conclude we will are following the  wallace  model and building  two sides full of  flankers.

We recruited for who we'll recruit next year. Cutting edge are we.

Same as the very least but with better players.

To mirror the senior side with equal numbers position wise and quality, ability wise, is a big ask.

I just get the feeling one will be left out. Hope I am wrong as I like Knighta and I reckon Lennon looks good enough to play right away.
