Below is the team I'd like to see us use as the foundation of our 2024 line up. The focus is primarily on long term development of the next generation, while also giving us a good chance to win games or at the very least be competitive in most games. In the VFL there will be a large number of experienced premiership winners running around, who can not only provide leadership/mentoring to the kids coming through, but can be there to come in to the senior side if/when required for injuries/poor form

With all due respect, this team is absolutely ****ing ludicrous. You clearly do not know anything at all about football.
Wtf is the tallest man alive doing commencing on the pine? He is a running machine.
Should be playing on a wing.
