I think 8. Work on ball movement / turnover game. Even though contested ball is our "1 wood" as everybody says, in my mind it has so much risk insofar as an injury to Crippa or the like can really reduce our competitive advantage. It feels too personnell dependent, whereas turnover strength feels more system based. When we started losing contested ball against Brisbane we fell apart.I think all that is required to go another level next year is the following:
1. Kicking routine improvements for McKay and remaining on the park with Charlie
2. Elijah Hollands and a third (2023) joins for a future 2nd adds to our Jack Martin depth
3. Cuningham, Fogarty, Marchbank and Martin an injury free year with layers added to their fitness.
4. Injury free Cripps year. Trimming down once again to add speed.
5. Williams return to the backline
6. development for Cowan, Binns and Hollands.
7. Walsh with an injury free off season and a full preseason
