Jacko in B&F form and the arrival of Chaplin made a major difference last year on our way to breaking our finals drought.

With Maric out ~half a season then Hampson is very important.

The other one is Astbury, if he can cement a spot in the back half, then we can cover any short term injuries to Rance, Chaplin or Grimes.

Certainly Hampson will, at least early in the season, be very important. We need to get a good start. However I think our back line is strong but the forward line, if it works will be where the improvement comes from. Shed  will play more forward and if he kicks 30+ it could be the difference.  And of course the other small forwards such as King, Newman or even Lloyd could be the difference between a good year and a great year.
