Great to read your write ups fellow Cat fans.
I can never really judge talent well early on and wait until I see a fir bit of a player - but I know some of you posters have some good cred with such things.
I was disappointed not to get Dunstan (just from the write ups pre-draft) but it sounds like he will be our Dunstan.
I think some forget how strong and big our midfield was and how that translated into effectiveness. Ling, Corey, Bartel, Kelly and Ottens made for a big midfield. Even Chappy and Ablett were strong. We have missed this aspect for a while now.
Perhaps Simpson, Selwood, Kelly, SJ, Caddy and GHS will be big enough, and skilled enough, to bring back some midfield dominance we used to have in spades.
If we can get Jansen to become a decent big bodied mid with a touch of speed and loves to tackle - he will be a great replacement for Kelly going forward. Then we just need Lang to come good as SJ's replacement in the midfield in the next 2 seasons.
