thoughts on young players in the nab cup

Post: # 518306Post big_mac_evoy5 »

the only good thing about nab cup is seeing our young talent and i am actually excited to see the game tommoz night i want to see eddy geary and miles but my favourite would be armitage my tip to take number 4 him or bally.

how do u thing the young guys will go??? personally i think armitage will break ito the 22 and i think geary is a chance. because i can see raph going out and mayby milne but he might stay in because they were talking about roating schneider through the wing and midfeild

Geary is ahead of Armitage at the moment. Armo has more potential than any other mid in our side though, it's just up to him to take it to the next level of intensity.

Raph is set for a big year, it's time for him to deliver on his promised potential, or face the chop/trade table.

Our rookies in Eddy, Miles, and Chivers are likely to play, as is Allen (source: plugger66 in the squad thread). Of course we've already seen McQualter but hopefully he can kick things up a notch too - perhaps he can have the job on Foley.

Why is Geary ahead of Armo. Would have thought they both did fairly well last year at Scorps and Armo did play 3 AFL games.

Geary is a better player at present in my opinion, but both will come up well this year. Different kinds of players so they're not wholly comparable.

I wouldn't mind seeing Birss on Foley again because I rate Birss as a possible 22 player in '08 even if it is only a rotation off the bench...

Its VR that I'm looking forward to the most tonight.

Was very impressive in the intra-club, and is a massive size.

I just wish they had their names on their backs ala one day cricket, so I'd know who all the new ones are!

I don't like refering to team sheets to see what number is what player etc....

It is the nab crap afterall, where normal rules are designed to be broken!
