Remember when were so bad that McCalamity was played forward for a few games ............................
Good Times. ...............we are approaching them again.
Kosi is the only player over 190 in the forward line.
Crumbers are Graham, Mansell and Campbell.
Dusty's finished and has never been a stay at home forward, and Bolton should be playing out of the midfield.
Granted, not having Lynch, Lefau or MRJ available makes it harder. Compounded by the unavailability of back ups like Samson, Fawcett, Gibcus.
But. Bauer is an easy in. Balta goes forward.
If the coach had any desire to win games, you could shift Rioli forward. Play Smith as the running back.
A forward line of
Campbell Balta Dusty
Kosi Bauer Rioli
Would be orders of magnitude more competitive. We have a thousand backmen on our list, so Balta and Rioli can be replaced. Blight is already a replacement.
You can also switch in Bolton/Mansell off the midfield/wing, bench, whatever.
You need tall forwards in modern football. Non negotiable.
