At the end of 2022 I would expect 20-25 of our players on today's list to be gone.Here’s the thing though Reh. Look at who will be in what age range by the time we lose those players..
by the time westhoff Gray boak rocky Motlop and ebert are all gone in 2022 and possibly dixon and Hartlett finishing or nearly done..
we will have Jonas clurey lycett Dbj Amon burton wines (if he stays) Houston Bonner McKenzie mayes Ladhams Powell-pepper Marshall atley and Drew all in the 24+ year old category. 14 of those are already first 22 quality players.
with Farrell rozee butters duursma all on 50+ games as early 20 somethings.
I’m very bullish on the reliability and leadership qualities of the next batch coming through in Dbj Houston and co to be consistent senior players.
not too mention the fast tracking of super reliable guys like butters and duursma who will be on 100+ games in the blink of an eye.
Of the 13 in the left hand column, the only one I see sticking around 100% is Lycett, because he has a contract. The way Jonas plays I think he will be finished come October 2022. I hope Dixon is still around, but it's against the odds.
The output of those 12 in the left hand column wont automatically be replaced by those 33 in the middle and right column, straight away. Yes there appears to be a good spread of talent in there but those 33 players might only be 20-25 come October 2022.
That group of 33 is more likely to peak around 2025. I hope I'm wrong and they can peak in 2023 when the old 12 have gone, but history shows its highly unlikely.
