Backmen = Depth
« on: December 13, 2011, 06:35:56 PM »
Seems a while ago I was saying that one of our major deficiencies IMO was our lack of depth in the backline, although I was berated for it..... ;)

It's quite apparent going by our Trade, Draft and Rookie selections that this was an area concerning the club and I believe we have done a great job filling that void.

It's great to see some big bodied backmen and rebounding running backmen coming into the club, lets just hope they all work out.

So

Bachelor is not played as the 4th tallest but the third. We are still playing two tall backs and look undersize.
We cannot carry nahas any more.
Griffiths still not been tried forward and we look one tall forward short. King has question marks.
MatDea and helbig have been underused in favor mature types

No it's not. All good in that area. 3rd most miserly in the league last year and some good kids developing. The forward line is another issue.....

Still need a large genuine fullback to cover Chaplin, maybe even play in the same side and release Chaplin.

Gardener doesn't need to be released. He either plays loose or plays on a gimp anyway.
