The few they have lost and have out make a huge difference, at the moment they are significantly different to last season.
But at this stage I'm not so bullish about their future, I can't see some of the younger ones bridging the skills / strength gap, they have talent but the physicality the Cats are losing through natural attrition isn't something you can learn. Tuohy, Rowan, Smith, Figjam, Hawkins, Stanley, C.Guthrie, they are all looking a bit old and weary. As I stated last year, they relied on superior skills to retain the footy, and I doubted they could do it long enough to win a flag, but they proved me wrong, this year they are less skilled and older, it's an even bigger problem for them!
