HF: Matera Lynch AhChee
F:Ainsworth Day Wright
R: Nicholls Ablett Swallow
Int: Miller Rosa Brodie Rischetelli
Emg: Bowes, Davis, Lonergan
Eades will have to try and not play all these shiny new exciting players so they dont break.
They actually have some pretty handy small defenders now - harbrow, Saad, Kolodashnij, Hanley.
Their Key position players arent bad. Wright, Lynch, May all good…Jury out on Day and Thompson IMO.
Midfield will lose injury prone O’Meara and Prestia, so no big loss from last year.
I can see Bowes, Brodie, Ainsworth all getting good game time. as they are all ready for AFL.
Forwardline might work well with addition of Ainsworth and all the young forwards coming through together.
You should be posiitive if a suns supporter. with concessions future looks bright, if they killed the draft, (and kids wanna stay)
If Ablett plays injury free, and Swallow can get back to his best they are finals bound. If these guys miss lots of games, they should finish outside the eight, but have some good wins, and play more exciting and attacking footy with all the kids. Eades might keep his contract, even if they miss finals.
