Yep only one poster over there is judging both sides fairly.
Top 4:
Stanton
Watson
Houli - A good debut in his 10 games but top 4 in their side ???
Myers - Just 8 games and he's also in their top 4 ???
Second tier:
Lonergan
Welsh - taken him until he was 25 to finally play half a year of good footy.
Winderlich
Reimers - Over time IMO he's suspect kicking will be found out
Hocking - 3 games in 2 years
Dempsey - now he is very talented
Hislop - 7 games in 2 years
Funny stuff
.
Now let's talk about young KPPs - FBs, CHBs, CHFs, FFs. Oh that's right 30 year olds Lloyd and Lucas are still their key forwards with Fletcher and Michael still playing down back. Ryder is their only regular young KPP (will be a gun) in their side. Johns, Bradley and Lee not coming through in the last few years has hurt their young KPPs stocks. Neagle is 190cm and after 3 years has only played 8 games even as a 3rd tall. Gumbleton is injury-prone and although still young. Hooker is young, skinny and unknown. Only 4 young KPPs in total on their list and only 1 of them a regular in their side is a ticking timebomb for the Bombers. Lloyd and Lucas will be both 31 by the start of next year.
The only area they are ahead in is ruck stocks as Hille is three years younger than Simmo and we lack depth in our ruck stocks with Cartledge, Patto, Gus and Putt either too young or yet to show any significant form in AFL games to be considered a certain long-term option. Mind you Laycock is a dud lol and Bellchambers is young and developing.
