Chris Johnson is still around but he's on tiring legs. Whether he can offer dynamism running forward is a big question. The loss of Leppitsch at centre half back is a big loss too. McDonald is a decent option there but he's not the best. Don't forget that Bradshaw has often been rated a better defender than full-forward, so he may be switched back there if somebody like Daniel Merritt can progress. Lions also picked up a very promising ruckman (#3) in the recent draft, so that will mean he and someone like Charman may also push forward from time to time. Unless I'm mistaken Clark Keating is still around too.

Back onto defence, we are indeed a lot weaker. Got a couple of other youngsters but I can't recall their names off hand. One of them is a left footer, very good at the kick in.
