Are you living in reality? Cunningham has played one good game and Gibbons has been ok.
Curnow is a lock to be top 10 most likely top 5 and I expect Simpson will be clearly top 10 by the end of the year.
Cuningham probably won’t, but Gibbons would be in the top 10 at this stage. Vastly underrated player.
E. Curnow is probably in our best ten, but not by much, Simpson could go either way but it’s looking like a pretty natural progression from the older guard otherwise. Willo will effectively play Simmo’s role when he retires, Setterfield is building into a good player and his peak should be at least as good as E. Curnow at his best.
The main stakeholders are still Cripps, Docherty, C. Curnow, Weitering, McKay, Martin and Walsh - none of these guys are old. We are then growing our next layer, which compromises guys SPS, Fisher, Setterfield and Pittonet, who are still developing. At worst they’ll be best 22 contributors, but if they became A-graders I won’t be too surprised.
We’ve moved past Kreuzer with Pittonet, Murphy is no longer the player he was and Betts will hopefully be replaced directly by Papley.
Naturally you have to replace older players, but it’s no better or worse than other teams.
