Where exactly is this depth? We got smacked in the midfield most of last season, lost our most prolific ball-winner in the offseason, now the most likely guy to step into the role is gone for most of the season.
So we’re essentially hoping a 33 year old, two second year players, two VFL players and a fringe Richmond player can not only fill the void of an All-Australian caliber player but lift our midfield to something resembling break-even in the middle.
It’s really lousy news, and terrible luck for a young bloke who had a golden opportunity to take his game to new heights this year.
