Just watching our last game against GWS on a lazy Sunday afternoon and wondered which players were missing from that game

Dawes +              Frost   ?           Hunt -

Jetta +                 Jones. M  -      Kent  +

Lumumba  +       Pederson ?      Petracca ?

Spencer  -           Terlich    -        Trengove ?

Tyson  +             Vanderburg  +  Watts   +

+ = would be selected

? = Maybe

- =  Not in our best team

Just interesting, I thought.     It seems we have improved our depth

P.S.    Doesn't include new players to the club

An extension of the "Round 1 team" thread??

Tyson, Vanders, Jetta, Kent the big difference makers, maybe Petracca as well. Howe and Cross come out from that day though.

The scary thing is how many GWS had out, with Mumford the biggest impact player but also several other class players.

The last time we had a big conversation about depth was after our round 1 win last year when Dawes came back in for JKH. The depth was somewhat of an illusion. Yet we managed to beat Geelong in Geelong without several of our best and with the likes of Bail, M Jones and Spencer playing.

I think our list is at the stage where we should always have options in terms of guys coming in and playing a role, what we need to have to progress is enough of a spread of quality players so that on any game day we have at least a few players making an impact and a spread of reliable players who get the job done most weeks. 

We always focus on who will fill the bottom 5 spots each week when the reality is we've been let down by not having quality in the top 5 and certainly not having enough depth in the top 15.
