That's my point though - if you don't have the weight, strength and a couple of preseasons on your side, you'll often get overrun.It is the fact that they get into winning positions only to fall away later in the game.

With Dempsey moving up to the AFL, there really is no class at all in this team.
I agree…that is what I find a little frustrating in terms what looks like a lack of competitiveness. Having said that it is normally a hard forward line to play in (although today the ball movement has been better)….again Phoenix is young, has some skills so I just hope he gets better every weekFoster’s done some good things today. Definitely has the tools and a footy brain.

Like the Hawks will on MondayThat's my point though - if you don't have the weight, strength and a couple of preseasons on your side, you'll often get overrun.
Knevitt will have a Zuthrie esque trajectory IMO.Hardie, Humphries, Knevitt, Wiltshire - there’s plenty of class, just not depth nor experience.
I think we rate class a tad differently.Hardie, Humphries, Knevitt, Wiltshire - there’s plenty of class, just not depth nor experience.
In fairness, Dempsey is a freak.I think we have rate class a tad differently.
Humphries has something though… although most of his touches have been for kick outs.
Humphries and Wiltshire are late-draft picks who haven't been on an AFL list for even six months, that doesn't count as class by VFL standards. I mean, Wiltshire's last season was at Barwon Heads - let's not get silly.Hardie, Humphries, Knevitt, Wiltshire - there’s plenty of class, just not depth nor experience.

Make no mistake, what really helps you at VFL level is those guys who have already had a number of years in the system - the likes of Finn Maginess, Conway, Parfitt, Callum Brown, Gunston, Reeves, Parfitt, Mannagh etc.
Class absolutely comes with experience. It's not some innate thing that you're born with and don't develop; it comes with time, repetition, practice, confidence, and not being completely exhausted.What you’re referring to is experience. Like I said, we have class, just not experience.
I didn't describe him as classy, I said that he's the type of player that wins you VFL matches. Maginess, Brown and Conway aren't classy types either.I don’t think anyone would describe Parfitt as classy, yet you named him… twice!

But classy.Exhausting chat.
Stats are meaningless. He was clearly one of our best and looked a class above. I wouldn't say he bashed the door down but he made a case for selection and he's ready if we need him.Knevitt 16 touches last week.
Knevitt 16 touches this week.
Was hoping for more at this level to be honest coming into his 4th season.
