Tbh, I'm not sure.
I actually think even if we were to land both bennell + McCarthy we will be lucky to make the 6 next year, but contending again in 2-3 due to development.
Freo has always been about playing you're role, which means we can have that moneyball type of structure but we still need some extra class to have that difference when needed.
I believe Barlow has a year left, D.Pearce also (which will affect hills game should he leave) ballas maybe 2, same for mundy, Johnson, sandi, griff, Dawson.
Clancee, mz and Debeor wouldn't make any top 4 team
RTB should be the one with the first contract extension of 2016 - what he's been able to do minus the quality we've had minus what we have moving forward is second to none
So yeah, we really do need McCarthy + bennell, plus role players like shoenmskers, litherlands of the world
Tbh, I think we will be lucky to make the 8 next season. Opinion only!
