Aside from Hugo l doubt we'll see much meaningful contribution from those that weren't regulars this season. Our immediate future rests on our injury run plus our trade targets. Pou would be the guy if he can put together a season like his last few games, and if we're very lucky 1 of the soon to be draftees might bob up.We are rebuilding but that isn't open ended. Most clubs can rebuild around a core in 4 seasons if they get it right. We need to go now. If we wait until Sinclair, Steele, Marshall etc are all over 30 we will need to rebuild this rebuild.
We need some bridging players and we need some future kids coming through. I think we could easily be where Sydney are this year with a couple of very targeted additions. We should have a fair bit of internal improvement.
Nas is already a gun but he goes up a level you get an elite talent. Then from Owens, Wilson, Phillipou, Henry, King, Windhager, Garcia, Shoenmaker, Keeler, Hastie etc you get a few go up a level. Then Dow, Clark, Byrnes, Sharman, Caminiti, Byrnes and even someone like Snags start to meet potential and all of a sudden you are starting to push up hard.
Add an extractor and a ruck and it's getting towards a finals side IMO.
