Gia, Boyd, Cross, Murphy, Gilbee, Lake and Hargrave. It will be interesting to see what the these names can do in 2013. Bodies break down and deteriorate quickly.
Some of our young brigade will be approaching 50 games at the end of 2013, but to expect them all to step up and fill roles after 30 games is optimistic. Still, Hawthorn's and Geelong's kids did it I suppose.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
