I think we are still looking 2-4 years away and if they come on early, great. I dont see us cutting too deeply from here. We will move on older types, cheat with some of them in roles where they are less likely, and then go from there IMHO.
The Williams, Fogarty, Saad experience was a very much now purchase, to ease up the pressure on the youngsters that have shown something, and are yet to get a go. We will see more of them as the season slips away and we are going through the motions and will be pleasantly surprised IMHO.
One quality mid coming in and two of the kids stepping up....
Established mids - Merrett (better numbers than Josh Kelly), Cam Guthrie, the Swans' Hewett and Luke Parker.
Coming out of conrtact in 2022 (therefore gettable) - I like the way Ben Keays has really come on at the Crows, Steele Sidebottom?, Perryman, Taranto, Cunnington, even Lambert at the Tiges would be RFA. Ditto Jack Steele.
Dunkley and Smith at the Dogs....
Or Crippa returning to 80% of his best.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
