Yarran is a tiger now for pick 19
He actually cost us nd 31 and 2016 nd 2nd round. Which in a strong draft year will be a bloody good pick and even more valuable if we finish bottom 6.
I keep looking at the list and think we are just three injuries away from disaster.
Are you picking us to finish bottom six
Well i think bottom 6 - 8 is a real possibility if things go wrong. I have rated us nothing more than a middling side even with finals.
A serious question no glib replies, Do you think we can make the 8 if we lost Rance, Maric, and Riewoldt early in the year for the season. I dont.Our depth in key areas is lousy. I also think we are a soft too outside side and did nothing to fix this apart from Townsend who i like as a player but there are no guarantees he will do a thing. The other player we added If anything when it gets hot in the kitchen Yarran will just add to our problems.
I also look at sides around us you know top 12 or so from this year, they arent standing still thats for sure. Imo for us top 8 is no guarantee like a lot think.
Crawski, you picking the Demons to finish higher on the ladder again?
Ah the Demons the bastards are giving me nightmares.I think they have plenty of talent and should be at the least challenging for the 8. But having been bitten on the arse, painfully mind, im not going to back em in.
Lets just say if our wheels fall off and they start to get close to their potential then yes it is a possibility they will finish in front of us.
They only lost Howe who i like as aplayer well as a hf anyway.
Next yr in comes Kennedy, Bugg, Melksham and basically Petracca. Also they ended up with picks 3 and 7 and both could possibly play straight away.As i said no one is sytanding still.
