What more does Mitch Hardie need to do to get a senior game?

Read HG Wells and work out how to build a time machine or turn back time & be 5 years younger

Not too many (if any) teams are debuting 26/27yr old inside mids when they have younger, longer term prospects on their lists that they'd see benefit in getting matches into

Besides, who would he replace in our current team - not sure he's getting selected ahead of any of those currently running through the midfield

Umps getting involved now

[CHAWKTS]

Foster looks like a 1 and done type player in terms of contest. Not a second effort player

I'd go further and say two decades.

This is the best group we've had since the dynasty team were running around in the early 2000s as kids.

Admittedly, we haven't committed to youth in the same way since then, so the bar isn't as high as it could be - but that doesn't mean it's not true IMO.

It is interesting to look back on that's for sure.
Like most things in life, we get blindsided and live in the moment and fail to recognize what could be.

No different with the list back then as many Cats supporters were in love with Spriggs (the next Crawford), Bizzell, King (became a star), Moloney, Ablett (for obvious reasons), Kelly and a couple of others at the time.
In the background, we had that many talented youngsters it became frightening for the competition.

It boggles the mind to think we never saw the best of Egan, Menzel and Nablett and we are still winning premierships to this very day, 15 years later. Arguably three players whom clubs build around.

We had a little purple patch back in about 2010-2011? Duncan was playing some AFL but in the VFL we had Menzel, Christensen, Mitch Brown and Vardy I think. Smedts was injured but we thought he would be a star, Motlop was injured I think? And C.Guthrie.

Anyway, obviously didn't work out for all of them but I remember watching a game and I think Brown kicked about 6, Menzel maybe 4 and Christensen 3 and I thought, this is the best bunch of kids we've had since 2001-2002.

Bad turnover on the wing…

COS will be good but if it is going to be as KPD in AFL he is a couple of years away in terms of body development

What more does Mitch Hardie need to do to get a senior game?

Rejoin the SANFL.
