This is why I beleive Wallace needs the full 5 years. That list is utter shyte. Players don't start to make a major impact untill about the 4th year.
From that pill of pish:
- We lost then key players in; Stafford, Campbell, Graham, Gaspar, Kellaway.
- Our mid range players were utter rubbish; Tivendale (whoops), Chaffy, Hilton, Hall, Morrison, Knobel, Krakouer, Rodan
- and a number of gash kids; Hartigan, Roach, Gilmour, ARchilbald etc.
Our (aruably) #1 midfeilder and ruckman both retired, and 1/2 our defence. 8, almost all of our mid-aged players were rubbish. We had a lack of talented kids comming thou.
I don't think Wallace i perfect but he had a big job on his hands.
We now had 27 players aged 22 years or younger.
On top of that he bought in Polak, King, McMahon, aged 24 or younger.
By round 1 2009 we should be in decent shape.
