Which of the kids could really step it up in 2011?
Could Winmar get anywhere near it with a full pre-season?
Will Stanley and Steven become regulars?
Will Cripps play a fair bit?
Can Heyne and Lynch put pressure on Gamble and Mini?
Will Big Mac still get a game with the new rules?
Can Simpkin put the heat on Blake and Dawson?
Thoughts?

Yes...lets wait till the NAB....
Who will have a big pre-season...and who has an injury interrupted one.
Who will have a mental "awakening" over summer and come back with increased "hunger" and ready to step up...and who not.
Who will be our Gwilt of 2011....I am hoping who will be our Gwilts
We have a good crop of potentials....but potential is just that until some arrives.
May several do in it 2011...as we need that extra leg-up.

Of course people won't know; but they can have a guess!
It's called a bit of fun for those of you who have forgotten

I think that Kosi will have a solid year as second ruck and that Lynch will establish his spot forward in a new look forward line. Steven may get a regular gig in the midfield rotation along with Polo and Cripps, Winmar will be a regular across HB by seasons end.
Completely unfounded hopes, but its good to be positive in November, makes the summer better IMO.

Maybe this year?

History suggests only one or two will become regulars in one season. Steven to me looks by far the most likely. Unlucky with injury this year so with a bit of luck should see him basically make it. The only others that to me are a chance are Stanley, Lynch and Smith but only one at the most will play over 10 games.

I see smith and simpkin as the big movers.
but yeah ross is incredibly conservative and doesnt have a development bone in his body. has not bought a single kid through in his time. some people are trying to claim gwilt - but he had already played senior footy when lyon arrived.
but id say simpkin should/will play 20 games which leaves ever-reliable blakey in trouble in the 22 IMO.
