A Rapid Rise Would Not Surprise.

Kennedy only played 12
Williamson, who I rate highly played 0

IT supports my point, but both of them are not walk up starts at AFL level at this stage (at least as far as I was concerned).

The blokes I was talking about are the sort that could realistically expect to get a game for any club in the AFL.

We're so heavily invested in the 2015 and 2016 drafts. Given that by next year it will be 3-4 years down the track it will be interesting to see how this crop improves next season:

2015
1. Weitering
10. McKay
12. Curnow
13. Kennedy
23. Cunningham

2016
5. Setterfield
6. Samo
27. Fisher

Those 8 guys have to lead the charge up the ladder. They are what we invested all our available trade / draft energy in. Thus far the mids as a group have been pretty underwhelming. They've got to push us back up the ladder starting in 2019.

What is your opinion on JSOS from 2015 Draft Jeza?

Both (leaving injury aside), and Kennedy, in particular presently, are very much walk up starts....in our team, at least.

And when Kennedy played, most games he clearly was far from right....

Remembering, he was injured early in Q2 against the Tigers and then (in my opinion, returned far too soon.....

Yep, IMHO bar Docherty, those two, if fit, will impact CFC in 2019 more than any others on that list

Kennedy is an unknown still in my opinion, he's promised like Garlett or Pickett but hardly delivered any more in real terms.

Williamson has shown and delivered far more already, and he has done so as a dead set beginner, but if he cannot get his body right he will be one of those very sad stories of the coodabeen variety!

Actually, Williamson and Weitering are in a similar boat, they have shown in their first seasons so much, but struggled to repeat it as yet!

Kennedy will be straight in, that in no doubt. Late season footy was very good even though he was never fit. Just at his fittest late in the year. It was an issue though given we had to send him off for surgery early.

I'm thinking Williamson will be straight in too.

Well above average for a pick 60ish who is still only 20.

I find the criticism of him delusional in the extreme - not that I think he's a guaranteed success. But again - lets have just a little perspective. 20 years old / pick 60ish.

To me he looks like a future Mark Lecras type - although I think he'll be a much better contested / high mark than Lecras. Already is probably.

I only left guys like him out my previous post because we've traded out experienced players to get access to high draft picks. Those are the ones I'm looking at to drive us up the ladder as of now.

Two words that will ensure improvement in 2019

STRONG LEADERSHIP

(Cripps and Docherty will not accept mediocre bull$hit.

That was Jack Silvagni that CJD was talking about wasn't it, did I miss an edit? :o

The only HFF or SF on our list that comes close to Mark LeCras is ....................... none that I can see!
