Generation game

The game will keep breathing. Chris Judd, Adam Goodes and Nick Riewoldt have made sure of that already. That 22 potential first timers have been named in the All-Australian squad suggests life will continue once they are gone, too. Darcy suspects his Bulldogs teammate, Ryan Griffen, will be an imposing figure in the new breed. Andrew Thompson thinks Lance "Buddy" Franklin will provide and thrive on many more big moments, as will Joel Selwood and Brett Deledio. He believes young Saints defender Sam Gilbert will be a very good player, for a very long time.

For Thompson, that early ability to sum things up unfolds on the field, too. Players that make you stop and wonder how they find so much space and time, he said, will usually be good ones. "Nick Dal Santo's like that," he said. "Joel Selwood, Scott Pendlebury. It's a good sign."

just a note on the accompanying photo- I am fairly certain I heard James say that he began to use this after shot/play stance after seeing Robert Harvey do it.
