3 players who will be regular A graders - Nunan, Todd, and another Sampson
As i said - no one of note. 2 blokes that have played there before without impressing and another who played C grade in SAAFL last year.
By noone of note I assume you mean ex league, B&F recipient, assoc. player etc., in which case your point is taken. However if the runner-up from last year recruits 3 players who will all play A grade, and loses nobody, then that means 3 players from last year will play B grade whcih logically says they should be stronger. If their opposition from last years' GF loses players of note and does not replace them with similar quality, then that should make them weaker. This is in the ideal world of course and assumes no injuries etc.
Those 2 clubs were clearly the best in the league last year.
Where you are right is that other clubs have recruited some notable players, but they needed to to be competitive with the Lameroo and BDT of last year and the BDT of 2010.
This should ensure the league is much more even this year as pointed out
