    Agree Picken has a good turn of speed. I am more referring to having so many inside players who are not noted for their speed.

    None of the above you would call quick by foot, I wonder whether that is too many of the same type?
    You'd hope that we aren't going to rely too much on Libba in the next 2 years, by which time Cross and Boyd will both be hovering around 30. Cross doesn't seem like someone who will get past 30 to me.

    I'd be surprised if Ward doesn't eventually become an inside and outside player by that time too.

    They seem like good kids above all else. Good heads on their shoulders is a huge step in becoming professional footballers IMO.

    It will be great to see the boys at the club and they will make an impact. It will also be good to see their dads around the club supporting their boys !!!!

    Certainly will bring Libba Snr and the club closer together which is good. Never good to see former legends fall out, and glad things are a bit smoother now; the drafting of Libba Jnr is great for everyone.

    Good article & very exciting, it's good to know we won't be fully crippled with the next few drafts.
