I'd rate our list around 8-12. Next year with more experience I don't think it falls into that bracket. We can't have another 2017/18.
Yes there are holes and some suspect drafting could really **** us and turn our peak (if that ever comes) into 4-6 rather than guaranteed top 4, but there's enough talent to justify a challenge for the top 8 with a mostly fit best 22.
Our best 22 looks ok like most teams but boy it falls away quickly.
Those youngsters who’ve played more than 15 games this year are probably long term AFL players. The others with exceptions for injuries (Darcy, Logue, did Blakely play that many?) etc are probably not. An exception or two not in brackets probably surprises us next year.
We should improve next year marginally imo. Maybe not playing WAFL finals and having youngsters who’d otherwise playing there having a longer pre season might be a blessing in disguise.
