After such a big performance, we've proved what we could have done ha dthe coaching staff and players been switched on from the start of the season... nothing we didn't know really, because an indentical squad last year went within one game of taking out the competition.
However with all the guys leaving, I'd still like to see onee extra option in that side Mulder has named, someone capable of filling the six and allowing Blake Green to take his time and develop into a first grader by the end of next season, instead of being thrust in with pressure. Tim did alright in his first season, not as well in his second, can we expect Blake to do as well or better?
I'd prefer the one extra option I think we need to chase to be able to do a bit of a ball-playing impact role from the bench too if possible, to try and fill the gap that will be felt without Widders and still be an option in our 17 should Blake prove himself up to starting first grade.
But if it doesn't happen, then we'll just have to hope that the players do what they are capable, and are motivated to do it for Hagan more than they were to do it for Smith this year - or for each other for that matter.
