I think you are wrong here.
We went into this vfl season with a very young and inexperienced group together with a not particularly strong vfl listed group. To finish 11-7 is a very good effort.
On top of that the vfl program has seen the elevation of Cumberland, Sonsie, Miller and Moju into key players in the AFL team and seen blooding of some very likely looking young players. Our young players come into the AFL team incredibly well schooled in how to play the system.
Supporters of other teams are wondering how we keep unearthing players. I look at players like Moju, Nyuon, Cumberland, Miller, Ryan as examples of young players who were not high draft picks and are continually getting better.
There will be players who don’t make it of course but our development program is one of the best in the game
