I keep hearing we have a great list, the players are in place, but we keep losing and playing very ordinary football, therefore it's the coach's fault. Well yes we have a lot of first round draft picks, doesn't mean they are or will become good AFL players. At the moment how many of our players would get a game for a top 8 team?
It's a pretty good question.
In the "Pick your best 22 thread" ...20 of my 22 played yesterday.
I don't think the list is as flash as some seem to think.
Heaven help us if we have a run of injuries.
We lack depth, and if for any reason Cripps wasn't playing we wouldn't be very special at all. ( That's a moderate way of saying "in deep strife"...because we're not special now.)
That's not to say that some of the youngsters won't develop into very good players, but some of them are also long way off.
