You said we don’t have like for like replacements, I would argue we’ve got basically every position covered at either end but literally nothing in the middle.
Outside the best 22 the depth/understudy picks would probably look something like
B: Hird Brand BZT
HB: Gleeson Reid Durham
C: Cutler
R: Phillips Clarke
HF: Guelfi Hurley Zaharakis
F: Cahill Ambrose Waterman
I: Bryan Johnson Mosquito McBride Baldwin Eyre
Notice how that structures up pretty normal with blends of sizes and shapes but I left the middle blank? Well that’s because I didn’t leave the middle blank, there’s just literally no one else. Pretty bloody dire if you ask me.
Our top 10 pick needs to be a big body mid and it looks like it might work well
I dont mind drafting mids and playing them elsewhere
Our midfield depth is still currently very good. Without Caldwell, Mcgrath, Shiel we're still filling out a midfield group (Parish, Zerrett, Langford, Stringer, N.Cox, Perkins, D.Smith, Ham)
Our absolute Best 22 going into next year right now:
Ridley - J.Stewart - Laverde
Heppell - Francis - Hind (Redman)
N.Cox - Parish - Langford (Perkins)
Snelling - H.Jones - D.Smith (Caldwell)
Tippa - P.Wright - Stringer
Draper - Zerrett - A.Mcgrath (D.Shiel)
