Elite runners? Yes, good endurance and good 3 k time trials in comparative terms. But both have been played off half back, where correct me if I am wrong, we need speed and burst, not a plodding distance runner. Maybe Sutcliffe and Sheridan would better suit a team as endurance mids, but not at Freo...we have enough slower mids. Slower mids are no problem as long as they read the play and make possessions count...but you cannot have more slows than quicks. Yes, Duman looks like a bot of a dasher and has some height to boot. Spurr may e surplus to need...another year older, not getting any quicker etc. Johnno definitely not getting any quicker, and his sole useful role of a spare player back with no one to mind is rare these days since the exit of McPharlin and Dawson.
