Pros
22 games for Gibbs, he is close to the youngest guy in the AFL and has great future
Murph took on #1 tagger and should have learnt a lot, really developing well
Bower looks a bit unco at times but also has a bit of Kevin Hall about him, is a good spoil and is developing quite well
Setanta, has played 32 games straight and has really improved his understanding of the game. Kicked very accurately for goal and if he can shake off groin probs will be a great CHB/ utility
Fish - his best season
Carrazzo - really stepped up from honest battler to quality midfielder, has great hands and doesn't take a backward step
Simmo continued where he left off in 06, great courage, class and leadership
Jamieson - lucky a spot opened up -seized opportunity with both hands, very solid defender
JAcko- looked like the gods were aganst him when he broke his hand but took next opportunity and looks a classy addition to midfield
Russell - much maligned but I thought showed steady improvement and is getting some size and confidence
Hampson - early days but has simian arms, is 200cm and has huge leap and can run - possible Jeff White in a few years, great pick up
Houla - much maligned, never going to be tough, but I thought had a very good year
Change of coach - had to happen, but DP has handled himself with real class since sacking
#1 and #3 draft pick. This better be the last year we talk about PPs. The AFL can get rid of them now
Picks we've had - no excuses in 08 we'll have 3x#1, a 2, a 3, a 4, 6 more in top 20. Has any side ever had 6 top 4 picks and 12 top 20 in their team?Add that to Simmo Fev Carrazzo Fish et al and if we can't create a super team out of that then Hughesy better start looking at property in Bolivia because there'll be a lynch mob after him
Dick and new committee - working hard and smart together
Swann - tough smart CEO
Waite- his best sublime, his worst inept, but more sublime than inept this year, and like the encouragement he gives.
Pros and Cons
Aisake showed great athleticism but bad luck he was injured, would have liked to see him in the ones
Ando - lots of grunt and promise, pity he did his hamstring, and criminal that he did it again as soon as he came back
Hartlett- big brute with attitude, showed soemthing but injury prone
Jake Edwards - unluckily injured twice when on brink of selection. Has attitude hope he comes on
Kennedy - got some games but had bad luck with injury. Hoped he'd show more, still looks out of depth but 2 year contract indicates the club see him as having a good future, hope he takes big steps in 08
Cons
Fev's attitude, not acceptable, needs to decide whether he wants to be a rich wayward talent or a rich superhero, remebered and lauded forever- shouldn't be a hard decision
Whitnall - Synbad was right. I kept hoping Whit would shape up, but he has rarely done enough to be the best he can, and was a very disappointing captain. Still has magic hands and did have great disposal but the knee seems to have sorted that. Think hardworkers like Banno or Saddo deserve a spot more than Red. Perhaps we could get Dogs #27 for Whit and our #36, Can't see much better will be on offer. Would love a Hay deal, but I doubt it will happen
