If those team selections are true, we will have 4 of our top 5 draft picks from last year already playing together in the team by Round 4. Considering how well SPS, Macreadie and Williamson have fitted into the side, this has to be a huge tick to SOS! The one that hasn't yet played, Cam Polson (Pick 59), had 28 touches for the Northern Blues last week and might get a call up soon as well with some more performances like that.

Then take into account that Weitering, C Curnow and Silvagni are all playing from the previous draft....haven't seen this sort of injection of youth at Carlton for a very long time!

I was going to post a similar thing earlier today. To be fair its only early, but to have 4 kids drafted in the 2016 draft
playing AFL footy by Rd 4 2017 appears to be a huge early win for SOS.
Throw is Marchbank and Pickett both starting the season off very well and SOS has got the last two drafts nailed.
Ideally Cunningham as a top 20ish pick will come on a little and cement his spot at AFL level and we are away.

IN
Zac Fisher, Charlie Curnow

OUT
Rhys Palmer (Omitted), Sam Kerridge (Omitted)

NEW
Zac Fisher

EDIT: Too slow...

Curnow and Fisher in for Kerridge and Palmer.



Can't complain about not playing the kids can we!



Does anyone know the average age etc for this week?


EDIT: Also too slow.

C: Ed Curnow (28), Patrick Cripps (22), Kade Simpson (33)

Average age is about 24 years.

(Note that these ages are the age each player will be at the conclusion of this year. So, this probably isn't too helpful.)

Bloody brilliant. Two stop gaps out, 2 exciting young kids in. The future is bright. Onya Bolts!

None of them has been at the club more than 18 months and all of them are showing heaps!

Two more years like that and...

I'm really starting to love this club again...

7 teenagers playing. When was the last time that happened?

Both the players dumped played better than Thomas I don't get it

Polson, Lebois, McKay, Cuningham, Jaksch, Boekhorst (???) , Smedts, Sheehan, Buckley, Byrne, Kerr, Philips, Jesse
Glass-McCasker..... There is just so much to look forward to, plus depth when injuries pop up, or pressure required.

That cant be right. It must be their ages at the end of the year as Williamson isn't 19 until December
