The Tigers know their quest for three flags in four years will be extremely hard to achieve, but Balme said there were no signs of complacency.
Young Tigers pushing for opportunities after missing last year’s triumph include Graham, Sydney Stack, Riley Collier-Dawkins, Mabior Chol, Noah Balta, Callum Coleman-Jones and veteran Kamdyn McIntosh.
“From our position we couldn’t be in a better spot. The attitude of senior players is outstanding, the attitude of the coaches is outstanding,” Balme said.
“We probably have about eight or 10 kids we want to play who aren’t getting a game and there aren’t eight or 10 in the team that we don’t want to play. So we are in a very strong position from that point of view.
“But that will be the challenge, to give everyone an opportunity so nothing is guaranteed, but we are in a good position.”
