We had seven players in their 1st or 2nd year of AFL footy: Armfield, Browne, Austin, Kreuzer, Grigg, Gibbs and Jamison.
Allowing for the fact that Betts got injured which effectively reduced our squad to 21 players - ONE THIRD OF OUR SQUAD against the Crows were "babies" in AFL terms.
And yet some people think we should have easily beaten the Crows on their home turf.....Get a grip!!!
You make an excellent point. As much as I hate losing, and we probably should have won it, I look at how young these boys are and how much improvement they have in them. There have been a few game's this year were we have been up by 3 - 4 goals and lost. Next year we'll win those games. We may have lost to the Swans and Crows in the last few weeks but we have so much more upside than those two future has been teams.
