As far as I'm concerned, with the inclusion of O'Meara and Mitchell, the increasing likelihood of Burton becoming a star, and the likes of Lovell and Howe showing potential—among others, it seems to me we really only need an elite forward and a solid defender to continue seriously challenging. With Roughead back in the frame for 2017, we're probably back in with a fair chance to go top-4 (and further). But in 2018, with no Gibson, there will be a pretty significant hole. I know a lot of people here are talking about the 'big-fish' being a mid, but I think our midfield might just come together. Can Brand or Heatherley step up?
