Can directly compare most of them.


Gollant/Himmelberg -> Welsh.

In future this should be an upgrade but unlikely to see much of Welsh this year imo. Nil all draw.


Hamill -> Cumming.

Hamill played some nice footy this year but Cumming should be an upgrade purely on size and strength without losing much speed. Advantage Cumming.


McHenry -> ANB

Extreme upgrade. Like trading in a 26" CRT TV for a 65" OLED. Not only on field but leadership wise. Game, set, match, championship ANB.


Parnell -> Peatling.

Decent upgrade. Peatling should be able to play in windy conditions without being knocked over. Adv Peatling.


Sloane -> Draper.

Sloane was cooked in 23, and didn't make the field in 24. By default this is a big upgrade to our engine room. Adv Draper.


Add in potential full years for TT and Nick Murray.


Like you, it's hard to see where we'd go backwards. Though the Crows always find a way to surprise you. Tex's likely downfall is probably one spot, though Fog already passed him for goals last year. Had some unlucky injuries like Worrell and Rankine (along with Ranks' suspension). If the injury gods bless us, who knows. It's just so hard to be optimistic though after recent history, we know what happens to the team under expectation.
