I hope to god that Johnson, Graham and others do start to step up because think of the future if they don't. What do we do if the Graham's and Johnson's of this world prove to be a bust? This on top of the wash out of taller draftee's makes for a pretty dire future.
As an extension of this; ask yourself what would have happened if back in 2002 Simpson hadn't come on? It was a pretty bare cupboard and this crop (last 2-3 years) is going the same way. Aside from Menzel I don't see any real stars coming through from that group.
I think Bell and Buckley will make the grade and I saw Cripps play in the VFL earlier in the year and he looked a cut above that standard.
Not sure about Graham, he sort of looks OK but doesn't seem to have any weapons, he could be the sort of player who comes and goes in three of four seasons and plays 20 or 30 games.
I'm not taken by Johnson at all so far, hopefully he can improve.
