IMHO we have a ready made replacement for Grimes in Brown. Brown is only 1cm shorter. I think we need to remember that Grimes over his career has rarely played as KP back. He plays tall, he plays short.
Yes Brown's only played 1 game he showed enough in the game to suggest that with the necessary experience he could be the long term replacement
Bank shows plenty and I for one is very bullish about his future
We saw a number of promising signs Ryan, Young, Coulthard, Miller, Trezise, Bauer, Clarke
Yes, some didn't come along as much as we (supporters) probably hoped Biggy, Hugo, Sonsie, Cumberland, . But with Sonsie and MJ I still think they will be good long term players
Of course there are still the ?? mark players - Mansell, Dow
Then there is the kids we didn't see much of even at VFL level due to injury... Smith, Campbell, Green
That's why I don't think it's all doom and gloom
A fit Lynch will make a massive difference. And I know I might be in the minority but I reckon he will be right for 2024
