WRONG Wrong
Told you Silvagni selection was a master stroke as was playing A Silvagni white and Rowe was a master stroke
All jokes aside I was wrong about selection and that we couldn't win an AFL game with the three of them playing
All contributed to team win and played their role
Not convinced long term that they are solution but certainly all should play again after that performance
Got it completely wrong

Everyone agrees they are not the future, but you can't dismiss they have an important role to play in the development of our plethora of kids.
We would be negligent to give the job on Buddy to Marchbank Powman and Weitering...maybe Weiters, but his role linking in the middle was a role we always wished Waite would perform for us and never in my wildest dreams did I consider Weiters play the role he did: master stroke.
Alex SOS had done the job on Buddy last 3 occasions, Rowe and White had been given a footy lesson from him, and it was Buddy who was the difference when we went down by 6 points at the SCG. Alex was a no brainer.
You've just got to have an open mind about what the MC are working on. Macreadie belongs, and he showed that from Day 1 in the JLT. Point now is who makes way for him, and if you say Alex, I'd suggest you underestimate his ability and the fact he may be with us for a few years to come having witnessed his blistering closing speed and footy smarts.
There will be ups and downs when we play 5-7 teens and 5 20 yo kids, but don't be surprised. We won 5/6 games last year, and this year we have failed in the 3rd qtr in 3 of our losses. We aren't as bad as some Baggers are suggesting, hence our membership numbers.
