So although quick players would be good I think good kicks are more important for our game style
I agree with you mate, it's just a matter of whether you think this group will be able to do it under extreme pressure and in the spotlight. There's a lot of examples of Betts, Mackay, B Crouch, Douglas, Otten, Jenkins, Walker, Atkins, Knight etc., not being able to cut it at important times. (Im sure there's also examples of times they could). I have my doubts about them being able to avoid that downhill skier label, but as I said in another post, many said similar about Port of 99'-03' but they stayed the course and got there.
I worry when off-season rolls around with our history of losing our best players. We won't win a flag if we keep losing them.
