Before the season started i thought it would be good to get a discussion over what you expect players, especially younger ones to be achieving by the end of the year. (injury free)
What i think Gary Rohan will be trying to achieve by the end of the year is to play a bit more through the midfield build up his tank, average more disposals then last year and kick more then 20 goals this season. I really think he could play in the Dangerfield type role he just needs to bulk up and build his fitness.
Luke parker should play the same role as he did last year with more game time and get more possessions and perhaps go forward and kick some goals on occasions, it would help the team if he plays a Jude Bolton type role and look to take some workload from Jude.
Sam Reid to keep on doing what he has been doing perhaps find the ball some more and get more accurate in front of goal, i reckon he should better last years goal total and perhaps kick above 35 for the year at his best.
Lewis Jetta should get more possesions and attack the ball/player harder, he needs to learn when to run and go with the ball with his pace. His decision making should get better and his good kick should break apart some defenders.
Alex Johnson should continue to improve on last year and perhaps become more of a link up player, whereas last year he was already doing enough to try keep his player from getting into the game he might be able to focus more on getting the ball out of the backline.
I haven't seen enough of jed lamb and the other new draftee's to discuss what i think they could improve.
I am interested to know what other people think about my expectations and discuss their own.
