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.
Its great that these two blokes are also great mates and they understand each other and the way they play.

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.
