There is so much to like about this team in comparison to last year.
The midfield depth and top end talent (Dangerfield, Duncan, Bartel, Menzel, Cockatoo as regulars)
The ruck talent (two of Stanley, Smith, Vardy as regulars)
The guys delivering inside 50 (Menzel, Kersten, Duncan, Dangerfield)
Forward pressure (Kersten, Menzel, McCarthy)
Blicavs as a tagger
Guthrie as a utility
These are all new changes and they've made the world of difference. It's a credit to Wells, the coaching staff and particular Scott.

I'm not a huge David King fan but I do like his use of "brand"
Whilst I don't get to see the boys live I sense our brand is revolving around intense pressure between the arcs to create turnovers and keep possession. We seem to vary the pace of movement into F50 between steady ( finding free targets) and breakneck speed initially followed more by kicking than running it in with handball. We are also brilliant at locking it in F50 with fantastic pressure. We are leading or close to it for marks, particularly for inside 50's
We've also lifted our clearances and contested possession numbers - that with the above looks like a great formula for finals footy.
Upside is that the team will get to know each other better as the season rolls on - great time to be a Cat
