The key thing is Walker. Will he have another year like 2023?Hector wrote:MW wrote:Hector wrote:
On paper, our full strength 2024 team is weaker than our 2023 team. I know some players will naturally get better but it's a bit disappointing we haven't actively sort some key positions (i.e. defender, midfielder). Look at how much Dawson and Rankine have improved the team. Must draft well.
How so? Cause of McAdam? I dont think so.
At worse, we break even 2023 to 2024 with list, and with dare i say it organic growth with the kids, we should be better on paper in 2024.
edit: forgot about Doedee! Ok yeah i can see slightly backwards now...
Yeah Doedee and McAdam out - both Round 1 starters this season. Burgess in. Maybe we've been spoilt the last few seasons but I would like to have seen another in. Petty would be huge.
But yes, as Booney says rightly, next year probably isn't quite the year just yet (but I would love Walker and Sloane to have another crack and I don't think they'll be in the best 22 for much longer).
I mean good luck to him to keep playing well as he gets older, but time catches up with all of usbat some point.
