and while he has been in the system a while is still finding his feet as a regular senior player.
Maybe more than small forwards we need a Marlion Pickett and Jye Bolton in the mid season draft who can help Cripps and give us some cover while Setterfield and Kennedy establish themselves.
‘while Kennedy and Settlefield establish themself’ or IF they establish themself.
This is a major part of our problem EB, we count players in well before they have shown anything. We just assume every early pick turns into a player. They don’t.
Neither has shown anything other then their draft position to suggest they will make it.
One has played 5 games the other seems to have commitment issues played 20 or so and looks very slow. Not exactly great signs to lock them in imo.
If we got a Newman type of player in each area of the ground (defence, mids and attack) over the last 3 years we would be miles ahead of where we are. Did we look hard enough ?
Too many kids without support is not the way to rebuild imo.
