I think Kamdyn McIntosh could be the dark horse player (the player that no one has seen yet play seniors) that no one really talks about who could really come on and improve and stake a big place for himself in 2014. Who do people think will really come on from the young players and improve in 2014 (not including our most recent draftees)

Darou might get a game if a backline player goes down

Agree with you Ramps about Kamdyn McIntosh  :clapping

Spoke to him on Friday (terrific young bloke to talk to, ditto Caden Williams) said the shoulder was feeling great. He is in training with the main group, doing everything bar tackling drills. Will start on those after Xmas

I also reckon Matt Arnot could be considered abit of a dark horse too, we only saw a glimpse this year expect him to play a lot more senior footy in 2014. If our development is right he should be the one taking Newman's spot in the side IMHO

Kamdyn can create a great career for himself as a Wingman/outside type midfielder for us. I only rate him behind McBean at the moment from our youngsters. I rate Kamdyn higher than I do the McDonough and McDonough has already played. With Lennon, McBean and McIntosh we have some really good youngsters to look forward to seeing in 2014.

Great thread and look forward to seeing Matty Arnott carve out a niche as additional run and grunt through our midfield in 2014  :thumbsup
“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.

If our captain can improve his field kicking the whole team will improve.

If the selection committee don't play him the week after he almost break his leg - his kicking will be fine

As we are finishing below Melbourne this next year worry about improving players won't be an issue as everyone will be going backwards.

My biggest deprover is Dusty who will average six possessions per game
