I'm sure some people will totally disagree and throw up a Tredrea or a Cornes or someone else, but whilst they were good, strong club men and very good on their day, their not a judd/ablett/goodes etc etc. The Clowns have produced 3 or 4 top class players in their 20 years...Roo, Mcleod, Goodwin, Modra, Rehn and prob more i couldnt give a toss thinking about. What do people think about our ability to produce great talent?

I may be wrong, but with our midfield not the greatest in the land, I can see these kids getting a go in there next year, and I don't think they would let anyone down.

Yeah I agree, we have done very well although my only concern is that none are from SA. May get burned later when they decide to go home?

Not at all saying that he will be the next dew but with pearce and jacobs (if he gets into our best 22 next year (by all reports he will)) providing long legs into our forward 50, will give guys like dan stewart the chance to be one out.
Im hoping this sees improvement in our goal scoring efficiency.

I think you will find that this might be beneficial in a way carey. If we had of axed westhoff we would have had to pay him a full year salary for being on the "senior list". This way we save by paying him a rookie wage (unsure of the diff) but he will be at centrals in 2011 so no biggie.
