Towards the end of the 2006 season I was very concerned with the health of our taller backline players
- Gaspar ...gone
- Kellaway... gone
And we effectively had no one obvious to step in (other than thursty who was coming off a knee reco).
I called out for the trade to get Polak to the tiges...we needed him. Moore was struggling and McGuane had played two shockers. One against the swans where O'Loughlin killed it and another against the WCE where we got smashed...
What a difference a little bit of time makes. I personally always rated McGuane but never thought Moore would come on...and Thursty was always going to get there if given the time.
Not only that though, we're starting to develop some KPD depth
-Thursfield
-McGuane
-Moore
-Schulz
-Polak
-Riewoldt?
-Rance
-Gourdis
-2008 rookie pick
I'm starting to develop some genuine confidence in our backline...go tiges!
