With some good experience from 2017 our guys will win more of those close games. As we already take the game up to almost everyone, I would not be surprised if we beat more top 8 contenders. With Gibbs gone, we WILL be underestimated.
We will be especially competitive if Kreuzer can have a year like he did in 2017. He isn't the best tap ruckman in the business, but his ability to compete and to cancel out the opposing ruckman allowed our mids to have a much better chance of getting the pill. If we pick our team carefully and have Lobbe and/or Phillips stand up, we should not often be beaten in that area.
I hope to see continued improvement from our young guys. Hopefully they can start getting some top quality scalps in 2018.
Our attack SHOULD be improved, but what I really want to see is more system in our forward moves and more from our small forwards.
