Difference is the age/talent bracket. They had done their apprenticeship, worked 3-5 years at the bottom and were ready to flourish. They had pace and skill around the ball, great ball movement off half back, they had targets up forward and a whole team that works both ways - Tom Boyd aside. We don't have that yet.

We have traded away 4 first 18 players, plus through retirements and delistings let go 11 more. We are talent poor, and not quick around the ground. We have potential but that is all at the moment, for example Graham, we would trade him in a heartbeat for any of the Doggies mids, yet he will start for us this season. In fact Cripps aside we would trade any of our mids for theirs.

ok, leaving the capitualtion aside - that you believe CFC are schizen across the park.

WB midfield in 2015 (excl. Liba):

Biggs
Bontempelli
Matty Boyd
Dalhaus
Hamilton
Lin Jong
Macrae
Prudden
Smith
Stevens
Wallis

And you'd trade who for who exactly!
