Ling is a far better kick than Harry. He played a couple of games last year and was solid. His passing was very good. Harry gets plenty of ball but sometimes is very wasteful as he does not seem to look for the best option but blazes away with the long kick. Other times he can be superb.

Harry is not the best disposer in the comp but he isnt terrible and with the way the game is played , Im pretty sure that he's not blazing away but probably playing the percentages in that if there isnt a good short option then your better kicking to a contest further down the line. Harry is way better than Ling at this stage. Ling obviously has something as they hang onto him despite him showing only a few glimpses at this time IMO but he doesnt displace Harry.
This article has Rowbottom and McInerney as the two players who will go to the next level: https://www.sportingnews.com/au/afl/...3qlpmr9kw81a/5
But I would not rule out
Dawson - aged 23 now and coming into his prime years of output
Mills - if he is moved into the midfield
And even Parker who could go to an even higher level with a competitive ruck cohort.
Cunningham is the kind of player who fills a gap admirably, but he's not in our next premiership 22. Better off using him as a second option to Ling and Gould by mid season
