What is 2019 a gap year!!
Could also throw in the names of Lang (pick 16 in 2013 draft), Byrne & Macreadie.
Basically 3/4 of our best 22 are under 25...arguably the only ones who are currently over are Murphy, Simmo, Jones, Kreuz & Ed. Casboult & Wright as well but they probably won't be best 22 for much longer and can't see Thomas playing too many games in 2018 unlike this year.
Next year it's very possible the only 4 over 25yr in our best 22 by mid 2018 are Murphy, Kreuz, Jones & Ed Curnow...with the rest being between 19-25 which will form our core group of players to take us to #17 hopefully.
Simpson hasn't done anything wrong yet.

Fathertime is undefeated, but if he produces what he did Last year the I'd sign him up for 2019, leadership and fearlessness great for the group.
Doubt he'll be playing in our next flag

American football has two players getting one up on Father time. Brady and Peppers.

Agree.
However, if Docherty was fit, then Simpson would probably start on the bench in the Best 22 at the start of the year, and then get pushed out by year’s end.

The Irish players reckon he goes alright and i'm tipping he'll still be in best 22 at the end of next season.

Who makes way for Kennedy, Garlett, Dow, O’Brien, Lang, Fisher, McKay, Macreadie ?
Gibbs is no longer on our list, Docherty is injured ... I have Thomas already pushed out and Lamb probably pushed out but in the next few, so 4 changes to there ...
Wright is probably next to be pushed out, then ... maybe Casboult (especially if McKay rucks 15% of game time) ... then ... I think it might be Simpson ...
Ah yes forgot Simmo (somehow).
Still, by mid-2018 I predict we may only have 5 players in the best 22 over 25 which is a really low number.
Murph, Simmo, Jones, Kreuz & Ed.
Shows how much young talent we've stockpiled and they'll come through in a cluster which bodes well for us in a few years.
What's he done wrong?

If the delivery into F50 improves with the new (found/injected) disposal skills, no way will Wright get pushed out. He will be a 30-40 + goal Forward pocket player.

He was just a shade under 1.5 goals a game this year .....

Yep and quite a few of our losses will be heartbreakingly close I reckon, and that’ll be learnt from in 2019.

Depends on how well the youngsters he is competing with are tracking plus where we see the side next year.
By my count there will be quite a number of talented youngsters who could push him out by the end of 2018. Garlett & O'Brien are 2 that immediately spring to mind, even though they aren't exactly a like-for-like, those 2 could come into our senior 22 at some point next year.
If he has a blinder early on, the hype may come. Journos loving hopping on board the hyperbole train. Cripps is a players' player who gets a lot of respect. From there who knows

I don’t think he has done or will necessarily do anything wrong.
The challenge is there for our younger players to command their positions in the Senior team, and so at some point later in the season I think Simpson will be the next to be pushed out.

I think delivery into the Forward 50 will improve as we transition to quicker ball movement with more run, handball and so on.
I think Wrighty is a really tough one as the season goes on. Has been a really good player for us.
Let’s say we set up with Jack, Charlie, Casboult, McKay, Pickett and Wright as our forward 6 and our bench has 2 midfielders who can play forward too (let’s say Kennedy and Garlett). And who’s not in the Best 22? It’ll be a couple of Fisher, Lang, Dow and Cuningham ...
and they might add to the midfield rotations from the forward line where Wright might not, and so I think Wright could make way for the 8th or 9th midfielder ...
Similarly I think Lamb might be pushed out from the start of the season.
If his form drops off i'll agree, if it doesn't i'll dissagree.

Kerr...
Cuningham seemingly has never been a high possession player at any level incl U18's.
If he is going to do serious damage at AFL level he needs to either
Get a lot more of the ball - which he has never been able to do
OR
Do a lot more damage with the ball when he does get it - and also do serious damage without the ball (defensive pressure, defensive running and tackle pressure)
I hope he makes it - but unfortunately I still have my doubts.
