Young might be marginally ahead but it’s negligible.
I like Keath, great pickup. He got consecutive 18 games to establish himself, with 16 as his most possessions. Young has had significantly less games but he already has 4 with more possessions than that. Young also had some better games than Hamling when he was with us.

I saw him in a VFL game where he and T Boyd rucked. He held his ground against the opposition better - although I see him as a Specialist backman. If we had played Young on King and Keath further up the ground we would have won that final.

In the first game this year he played on the forward line and the ball rarely got there- only 5 goals and Williams got one of them. Then banished. Like Schache, what he does well isn’t noticed. But make a mistake and he is out. Fortunately we have inferior players to take their places.
