Tigers tall stocks shaky there
Griffiths retired on eve of season. Now Hampson. If JR or Nank got injured not sure they have a lot in reserve talls wise.
Some very raw players like Chol perhaps.
is maric still playing for them?
Ivan Soldo…come on down!
No. He’s their ruck coach

Think Chol is out for a while as well
Quite a few pundits thought the tiges were the worst bunch of individual players to win a flag - which was actually a complement of how well they worked as a team. With them being clearly the best team as at now, I still think their list of individual talent is less relative to some other teams.
I’ve always rated vlaustin, grimes & astbury; short, lambert & costagna are better than I realised, but dusty is well down on 2017 and a few forwards are getting hold of rance & kicking goals or inducing dives the french soccer/diving team would be proud of. But I think the gap between the sum of their parts and the talent of those individual parts is still the biggest in the AFL; ie they are so good because they extract the most out of the talent they have due to team spirit and a system that is ideally suited to them. They also have a great run going with no big injuries.
But it is quite possible a team with equal or more talent will do them doggies-style a la 2016. Wish it was us, but any of those teams fighting for 5-8th spot are a chance if it all clicks in september.

Grimes is a cheating spud! He will he on the same level as Jason Blake was at st kilda, good as part of a team defence but one on one he is junk.
Agree with the rest of your post
