Good stuff bondi... and I see you just haven't been able to resist a reference to Prendergast!
You know the old saying...desperate people do desperate things.
I'd rather not have to rely on Prenders, and would probably expect him delisted year's end. But I look at Bryan and McLaren, and I find them a bit more disappointing than Prenders.
In a perfect world, I wouldn't have any of those guys on the list, but with French gone, Batson ?, and Aisake still a year away (at least)...Carlton give me no choice but the desperate one.
I do have a feeling that DeLuca in 2 years time will be GOLD. I remember when unco Justin Madden came onto the scene and it took him 4 years to come good around '93, and was great for the next 5 years after that. Anyway, I'm hoping DeLuca will be the same. He shows good and bad qualities, (and a few more positives than Madden did at the same age), and big men do take time...I give him the time...but that's a different sort of time than I give Prenders...that's purely a desperate measure to fill in the gaps when they appear in the ruck position...and that's because I don't want Kennedy thrown into the ruck, because he's our CHF, and we build around him and Fevola at FF.
If we pick up Keating or Everitt, or even Doyle...then I would say bye bye Prenders and Bryan...and I'll be emancipated from them.
