Man I can't wait to see more of this guy

Makes two of us.
Cant wait until he starts to transition from inside to out more at the level. Then we will see a player.

Touchwood, the beginnings of a future gun midfield  :pray.

Hopefully there are at least three others we can throw into that midfield mix in McAuliffe talk about size Smillie and Hotton.

Gunna be fun watching them all go around in 2028 or 2029 just need to keep adding to them now as Taranto Hopper and Prestia will be either gone or past it depth is now the mantra imo.

With a lot of optimism about the kids we have the logical question should be who do the younger blokes replace sort of like for like.
Im looking at older players who played at least 11 games.

Mids
Prestia 12  - Lalor 10. Makes Prestia redundant. Pace and power added
Ross 23 - McAuliffe 5. Has far better attributes and addresses a few mid field weaknesses.Pace and power and hurt factor physically added.
Sonsie 16 - Smillie 0. Big upgrade imo ball use size and an ability to get his hands on the ball and no squibbing.
Dow 11 - Cumming 0. Big upgrade again a complete opposite in many ways pace power aggression hurt factor with ball and can go fwd.

Wing
McIntosh 23 retired did not play exclusively wing this year. Clarke would be in contention if not for injury.
HRS 12 - Campbell 23  has attributes for the role Hugo can only dream of.
Trezise 16 - Retschko 0. Trezise is no winger imo lacking in too many areas for the gig.

HB
Broad 22 - Brown 23 Time for Brown to take over the role he has  done a good apprenticship.
Short 15 - Grlj 0. This is a no brainer imo

Possibly three others in contention Banks, Smith and Trezise making Shorts position almost untenable.

Forwards

Green 19 - Algar 3. Kid looks a gun could Green have played 19 more underwhelming games.Statistically horrible year for green and they backed up what we saw
Rioli 13 - Hotton. Who in their right mind would pick Rioli over Hotton.Rioli like Green was statistically horrible mostly backing up what we saw.
We must find general forwards who can at least impact the scoreboard regularly.

I think when you look at the games these blokes got this year and how poor they were in the main and you add in there deficiencies then there is a good case for the kids to be played and a few role changes made.

To me something like this makes sense and gives us the best of all worlds.

Vlastuin - Miller - Trainor
Brown - Gibcus - Grlj

Retschko - McAuliffe - Campbell
Nankervis - Taranto - Lalor

Hotton - Faull - Algar
Mansell - Lynch - Armstrong

Hopper - Balta - Cumming - Smillie - Banks.

Viewed as the ‘safe’ choice for this year’s No.1 pick, Richmond is a big fan of the U18 All-Australian Chloe Bown.

The Vic Metro co-captain is highly skilled on both sides of her body and knows how to win the footy on the inside and out.
