With HBF, HFF and wingman I do agree that we have a lot but the right ones need to step up and prove that they are AFL standard.HFF - we have them coming out of our behind.
CHF - definitely.
FP - desperately.
BP - a defensive one, agree.
HBF - see HFF.
Wingman - currently pretend to HBF's.
Backup Ruck - One 18yo and one about to be set Free.
Don't think we can attract a 'quality' A grader even a B+ grade trade in our current form so it has to be internal development with mature FA's at either a mature 28-30+ former A graders or a punt of VFL/WAFL/SANFL players that can do these job and teach whilst the kids come up...
After todays effort, we need some vocal leadership as much as players.
How many do you trust are ready to go round 1 next year in a finals quality side?
I have McKercher in the wing/mid role already, so not including him.
Bergman, Fisher, George, Ford, Duursma, Stevo, Stephens, Scott, Tucker, Archer, Taylor, Hardeman, Lazarro, Drury...
How many of these guys could reliably be best 22 for any top 15 side?
