He's got a long way to go to catch Dal's 2013, let alone Dal's best.
Ben averaged 20 hitouts a game this year. Longer's had 28 hitouts IN TOTAL across his whole AFL career. 9 whole games of it.maverick wrote:Longer will be better next year than Ben was this year.
There's no logical way you can argue that Longer could possibly be better than Ben's 2013, even though it wasn't such a good year for him.
Maybe. But we can't get all of that "depth" out on the park at the same time, so as usual our better players are going to be the ones who win us games.maverick wrote:Again you concentrate on the top end, look at the mid tier and bottom end, much deeper list = better list.
Longer could be better than Ben this year, bigger leap than Savage, but Ben's second half of the year was pretty ordinary, but yes that is a bigger leap.
Both Longer and Savage's stats to date are not worth much because they were not getting regular starts, they will next year.
I thought we were talking lists, not starting 22?
I did say I think our list had bottomed out not our best 22?
You did and I gave reasons why i dont think it has because we still are yet to lose 3 or 4 of our best 6 or 7 players. As for depth i hear about that every year but depth never looks good when you lose. At the start on 2013 I heard we had better depth than the previous year and probably heard the same the year before. And didnt this start because we both had reasons why we would win certain amounts of games. To do that the starting 22 is pretty important.
