Where does the improvement come from in 2024?
Keath is cooked
Duryea is cooked
TOB?s body isn?t up to it
Baker is fringe
VDM while regularly selected isn?t consistent and can?t be relied upon
JJ is another year on
Liam Jones is another year on
Lobb is another year on
Libba is another year on
Treloar is a year on
Macrae is a shadow of himself
Smith might not be around or at best can?t be certain to improve
Khamis will kick nearly 40 in the VFL but will be out
Sweet is the dominant VFL ruck but will be out
With no debuts this year, we don?t know what Buss, Clarke or Gags can do
Naughton still can?t kick bags or more than 50 a season
JUH struggles from 35m out now
Ed & Dale probably can?t get better, same for English is he stays on
Who knows where Daniel plays
Weightman is becoming quite inconsistent
You wouldn?t bet the farm on Poulter or Williams dominating next year
Effort seems conditional generally
Darcy is a bright light but his body hasn?t yet been shown to be durable
JOD looks good, but is a second year player
Bont is Bont, but Ward shows you need to tag him hard
So how do we find improvement to get back into the finals and not fall further down the ladder? I?m not readily seeing how this gets better before it gets much worse.
