I think the big difference between 2025 and 2026 is that we will have serious depth and fair dinkum competition for almost every spot in the 23.
I'm not sure there is anymore competition than there was last year.
There's a lot of new faces who are 'unknown' that is causing some grief.
Nic Newman, Brodie Kemp and Jagga Smith coming back from injury adds to competition.
Established players like Florent, Hayward and Ainsworth add to competition.
An outstanding draftee in Harry Dean demands a spot in the 23.
Newbies like Chesser, Reidy, Ison and Byrne add to the competition for spots.
We’ve basically lost five first 23 players, three of whom were injury prone or unavailable, and replaced them with seven first 23 players and four players with the potential to demand a first 23 spot.

Not sure it's causing any grief
And players like Hayward, Florent and Ainsworth are hardly unknowns.
Unknowns to us.
They are all perfect currently.
Its only until they hit the field in a navy blue jumper that we realise they are just like everyone else, flaws and all.

Last post by kruddler -We're going to have a pretty good bench by the time this exercise is finished
There's a bit of talent missing out on starting spots.

Last post by Thryleon -Even North melbourne are more worthy because they are almost defunct in the mens comp and have somehow picked themselves off the canvas in AFLW (largely because the gap between haves, and have nots is not so large due to the money that comp generates).
What a load of rubbish.
