Gibbo barely played and Hodge lost what little athleticism he had left so the retirements, dare I say it, won't hurt too much, but I think it will be a development focused year so who knows. 50/50 for finals imo will have to see what happens at trade week as well. Of the players who may regress Burgoyne would suck, but Puopolo also barely played.
We have a lot of talented talls that should improve, but there are some young mids that we need to start bringing through. Frawley, Stratton, Birchall will be fit again. Really there are so many questions about this team.
Bulldogs need some minor tweaks to make finals again, if Beveridge is deserving at all of his two coach of the year awards he'll get them back in.
