Being cute with the numbers?
Please tell me where i was being cute with the numbers.
I also made a table...
Plowman (60) (82)
Lang (44) (66)
Weitering (42) (64)
Jack (28) (50)
Curnowfides (27) (49)
Marchbank (23) (45)
Kennedy (19) (41)
SPS (20) (42)
Fisher (17) (39)
Williamson (15) (37)
Cunnington (11) (33)
Pickett (10) (32)
Macreadie (8) (30)
Harry (2) (24)
#3 (0) (22)
#10 (0) (22)
I made it easier for you to see that there was nothing 'cute' about the numbers, they are the numbers.
I stand by my comments.
You didn't say they would be doing the heavy lifting, but you did say they hold the key to our immediate future. If they are to get anywhere near the amount of games you sugggest they do, then they need to be playing each week. If they are playing each week then there is only spots for 6 other players in the 22. So, considering the make up 72% of the team, i'd say they are doing the heavy lifting.
Now, IF they are not going to play all 22 games, or anywhere near it, then that backs up my original argument further....you are ahead of yourself in terms of where they are in terms of expected output of 50-70 game players.
So, for a maths geek, you seem to be missing something pretty obvious as the numbers and your take on them, don't stack up for 2018. 2019, perhaps.

What I expect next year is that we win a few more games than last year. I think losing Gibbs will cost us more as the year goes on. I am hoping we are more attacking and I hope we do better next year against the lower sides than we did this year, we only one of five contest.

Don't be a dill, it's not about the exact number of games each has played. 49 is 50 in my book...
And of course these blokes will determine our immediate future - we know what Murphy, Special K, even the Bolt will bring.
But if Charlie has a Kouta like break out year, or Kennedy or SPS (or both) have bolters, ditto Pickett, or Harry Mc become a regular and kicks 25 for the year (ditto Lang) then we will win a lot more games.
If they don't, we won't. Capiche?
Finals, then 4 in a row!

I watched a replay of the Hawthorn game last night. Pickett could be a real weapon. His 3rd & 4th quarters were something to behold for a bloke with 10 games under his belt. He could be absolutely anything (maybe a flash in the pan, but I'm hoping he could be the most dangerous player on our list). He can tackle, mark, sell candy in heavy traffic, is lightning quick, and is a pretty good kick. He has the tools, I just hope he has the attitude and guidance to make the most of it.
I expect the club to give SOS a knighthood for getting him so cheap. Just a reminder the Tuohy deal got us both Marchbank and Pickett.

He was taken at 4 in his draft for a reason. My understanding is he just lost his way at GWS amongst all that talent etc and lost confidence etc, then a few injuries....
His upside is bigger than most. Hope he gets time in the midfield too.

Pickett has shown he can take the next step and be a real weapon...tackling is great, and can kick more goals if he can steady up a bit more.
2018 has to be his year though where he cements a spot or he will be in that bracket of players that will be fighting for their futures.....

Over recently passed times we have squandered a lot of talent and I won't depress myself again by going through the list. I truly now believe that we have moved on and the focus we are showing on development coupled with BB's approach and philosophies will ensure that players with talent won't be neglected. With this in mind, Pickett has an excellent prospect of becoming a top performer imo - he'll be receiving very personalised attention now.
Reality always wins in the end.

Yes, plain and simple.
We cannot afford more list cloggers like Yarran, players of great potential in which we invested so much resource for so very little return!
I'd be making calls earlier rather than later on these players, two to three seasons is more than enough!

I see Dylan's Dad - Jim - has come and out say another Club should pick up Dylan.
Well Jim, truth be told, if he couldn't crack a game at CFC not sure who else would look.
Always thought Dylan might become that line breaker/long goal kicker that he did hint at....but I guess the powers that be knows best....

If you say so.

Most? Even with including your dodgy (Jack might reach 49 games if he plays every game) one, you are left with 5/16.

Must be using imaginary numbers then.
