5 Years of rebuild, yes there'll be some players that haven't developed enough to be Grand Final playersI remember Blighty rating Pedlar very highly back in 2022 before he got game time in 2023. But must admit I am getting tired of being hopeful only to be disappointed. Generally (like probably a lot of supporters) you are just hopeful that your young players are going to be guns and when they don't perform you are just hopeful that they just need more time or played in a position that suits them or for them to have a big preseason or something.
But then at some stage you just have to realise that they aren't going to be as good as you hoped them to be. I am still holding out for Pedlar but others I am not so sure anymore.
Unfortunately we have a number of players in our SANFL side that have had a decent go at AFL level but just aren't going to be the players they and the supporters would have hoped to be.
McHenry, Berry, Gollant .....I expect Smith to retire, along with Sloane ....who knows with Himmelberg
Enthusiastic about Charlie Edwards & Toby McGuire
