I meant the 1860's......
Agree, today's crop is promising, but no Armytage-Bowen-Fargher-Gaggin-Gorman-McFarland-O'Brien-Williams
I've said similar for more than 12 months and we keep adding to it. Add a mature gun next year and watch out.
I'm looking at it more through the modern era since the introduction of the national draft and recruiting,
What SOS has done in his short time back at the club is amazing, past drafts were a real hit and miss and others absolutely putrid, imo this is by far the best crop of midfielders we've had come through at the one time
Never had this depth or elite talent nor the balance.
I still believe Charlie will move into the middle more and he could be the best of the lot

each one a household name.......
Spot on Soap Just puts a smile on the face seeing all of these talented kids coming through together, knowing they need a bit more time is no problem at all, you can see that is worth the wait

Been seeing it for a while and it wasn't just being "positive"
. It's really thereNow about adding some mature top end talent to help them develop.
Its up there in potential with the Ashman Marcou Maylin Sheldon Harmes Cattogio Johnston Buckley Keogh Glascott era.
Long way to go to emulate their success though.

Slightly shaded by the year we were going to sign Pavlich, Pretzel boy and Mitch Thorpe in one preseason. Heady days
Wouldn't you have loved listening to the commentators calling Fargher's name?

loved his game but would like to see his kicks come in a little flatter - is it me or does he get under his kicks?

Beast Fleet? Cripps, Setterfield, Dow, Kennedy, Stocker, Cunningham, Jack and throw Charlie into the midfield for laughsGre
Great days the MosquitoFleet in full flight, Golden Era
Has a powerful look about it, going to be a handful this lot when they are all up and running N.
24 touches in 66% TOG impressive. Once he gets that up to around 80% he should be lodging around 30. DE was low, like Walsh, but I'm putting that down to it being his first game since round 19 in 2017 and against one of the flag favourites to boot.
Already one of my favourites.

Who?Better than Shiel
An important quality that both Setterfield and Walsh hold is that they know how to find the ball consistently. Both essentially first year players, but already exceeding what Fisher, Samo and Dow were producing in terms of possession numbers in their first years.
They both currently have a good base tank to work off to be able to get from contest to contest. This is one of the main things that the 3 aforementioned players require to go to the next level. We know Fisher, Samo and Dow are skilled, but they have and are learning how to find the ball more often.
At AFL level. Don't think Fisher or Dow had any problems finding the ball at junior levels. Not sure about SPS.
