Age- KPPs take a long time to develop but the stars are playing regular senior football (some good) by 19yo. If a young KPP is not playing regular senior footy by 19yo- he is not a star. Keep looking.
This year, we have, Limbach, Hughes and McGuane all as 19yo KPP prospects. The ruck/forwards can take longer so Pattison might still prove an exception. But that's the trio of interest and the first question "Are any of em stars?" is about to be answered. Along with some clues on which positions will best suit them. The plan has to be- Keep looking. The answers will tell us for what.
Great point. If a kid hasn't shown it as a power forward by 20 show him the backline or the door because the odds are against him turning into one.
