The lyrics if the song were written in the late 1920s (or early 30s) and in the context of the times is meant to be an analogy of sending up your best men up to the front in times of war/
battle.

So it means with all the best men (the champions) they will send up ( to the front) we will hold our end up, which in this case means we will do our job, prevail, win. :wink:

Forget topping up with other players.
Unless it's a player for player swap, I wouldn't be interested. I'd like to see us draft some 18 year olds and actually develop them into quality AFL players.
Just a question, how many young players have we drafted, improved and developed into quality AFL players in the past 5 years?


Discounting the obvious #1s.

Robbo, Tuohy, Yarran, Ellard, Garlett and to a lesser extent Joseph. All players who came to us with limitations that have been worked on and improved over their time with us. Yarran especially.

Strike rate of less than one a year in that time period isn't pretty...


1 players from the national draft in 5 years excluding top 10 picks?
Perhaps we should look at improving our own development program instead of sponging off the good work of others.
Getting in ready made players is the soft option IMO.


Grigg Austin and Kennedy are going ok :)
