Post 100% nailed it!
Our rebuild would look very different if we managed to get some decent output from the likes of mature pick ups such as Mullett, Garlett, Phillips, Shaw, O'shea, ASOS, Pickett and this years Kennedy, Lang and Lobbe....sadly doesn't end there add in ones that are no longer on list like Sumner, Palmer, Smedts, Gorridge. OMG this is sad.
I think the kids are on track but the trading of mature age players is awful and a big reason we are so heavily exposed until more games are into the kids.
Marchbank and Plowman are 2 ticks in the Bolten era with Kerridge a pass as well IMO. Lang, Kennedy and Lobbe deserve another season before rating accurately but still haven't set the world on fire in what we have seen so far regardless of excuses.
Not a great average and something that this draft can afford another lot of mature cloggers.
