One issue we had this season imho was our inside 50s , not sure the actual stats , however it was as if the league had learnt of us and wouldn’t allow our key forwards any one on ones , as well as Lynch & Jack flying against each other so often , we also got sfa from our small forwards and s funny as it sounds I still think we cry out for that sharp shooting midsize forward I.e Caddy . The constant bombing just didn’t work , one we weren’t marking them and two we had no clean crumbers kicking goals . We can make all the excuses we want about Lynch not getting the frees he deserves , however facts are that’s the way he’s going to be umpired until he hangs em up.
I think this area is going to be the biggest and most important challenge for Dimma an co this off season, we need to create more easy goals and definitely need smalls who will kick goals . George and Aarts will be there, however I don’t think there the answer anymore,definitely not both, MJ at this point is pretty similar to them , defence but not much attack, Bolton is probably our best option , however I think he is better in the midfield, Stack is also an option however I think he’s better and more important of half back , though Cumberland is still young in footy terms Id like to think he can ad that X factor and actually hit the scoreboard, that’s the best spot to put pressure on.
So at this point I think I’d go Jack and Dusty deep, Dusty swapping with Bolton, Lynch more as an old CHF with a rotation with Jack, CJ in the mix as well as Ruck time , then a combination of Shedda, Lambert, Cumberland, Skip ( Rochelle would be perfect if we got him) depending on form maybe one of Parker, Aarts or George , however I’m hoping we find from within or outside more forward class over the summer
In Dimma we trust
