To be honest, I was quite deflated at the way our season petered out.

While I think Henry, Bianco, Rantall, Macrae, Poulter, Ginnivan and Wilson all look like they will become good players for us, if I'm honest, I've got to say that none of them have made me say "wow". Whereas, I remember the first time I saw Pendles and Daisy play for us, I knew they would become absolute stars. At least we should have Nick Daicos to get us excited about next year. Other than that, it's looking like it will be a long road back from here.

Sadly I agree RB and although I have tried to say the same thing, you have said it better. I see a hiatus in the next 3 years where we build a team up from ground level because that’s where we are. The club should respectfully consider trading those over 30 to clubs who are much closer to a flag and in return receive draft picks or trades for skilled youngsters with potential. No taking anymore shortcuts, start afresh with a list that will grow into a much better team. Anyway that is my two cents worth.

Think Baby Bombers of 1993 average age 22.5yrs
They recruited well that period and thrashed Carlton in the GF.

Young players can develop, why can't we have a Baby Magpies?

All those young men are as the above two posts have mentioned are promising and will be good with more pre season and experience

One of them when in VFL was given wraps as the X factor player —talking about Ginnivan and he showed very small snippets of the reputation given

I wish them all a great career but the Messiah is yet to surface

Ginnivan 6 goals from 5 games, McCreery 11-12, Henry 7-10, Bianco 7-11... if we get a KPF there are some good options there along with Elliot (25-13) and Mihocek (34-21)

I don't see one Magpie in this All-Australian team by media selection

Also no Tigers

^ I thought Crisp was unlucky. I think he's been better than both other HBFs.

I expect Richmond and North had an 'unlucky' someone too but at the end of the day, who cares about being in the AA squad

Mods, wrap this thread up now, its pretty depressing an its now the past, stuff the Bombers, they will last only one week more than we did, the doggies will put them to the sword. Its the past now, lets forget this shitty season, and look towards better times now, a new coach, more kids, few re cycled players, young exciting Daicos, new Board members, etc, lets move on from this now, look to a new dawn, and better happier times.

Boys and girls,

How many games did Swan and Didak play in the ressies before unleashing them ?

How many games did the certain boys play in the U19's before becoming the legends they are ... re:1990

With no underage footy, no ressies.. no form or real practice..

They all wow'ed me. I didn't see any duds, and they delivered as promised.

Give them time.

Heads Up ... and shut up lol

Enjoy our handful of replays this summer !!!!!!!!!!!!

More next summer.
