No doubt sides have figured out how we structure up by now, but actually matching up with our smalls is the problem. On a smaller ground like Simmonds stadium its much easier. But agreed basically we are in trouble all over the ground with talls.
With the exception of a key forward/Ruck, Our first choice key position talls are outstanding.
Astbury, Rance out back with Grimes as a back up, Jack and Nank as forward with Nank as first choice Ruck have all been sensational this year.
I agree that there is a lack of depth and so luck with injuries is a key but this set up has delivered our best crack at a flag for over 20 years and should therefore at the very least should be acknowledged
Yep agree with you 100%.
Yes Ivvy and Elton need to be replaced and who knows what will happen with griff, but in Garthwaite(agile 2nd or 3rd tall defender), Moore(agile tall fwd) and Chol(2nd ruck/fwd/defender) we have some exciting developing KPP's.
Its not unreasonable to suggest that if we draft 2-3 KPP's in this years draft(very likely) and trade for one this year or next, our list is close to being nicely balanced(theoretically). You'd think we were completely bereft of KPP's(apart from Jack and Rance) listening to some posters on here.
We've got some good bargaining chips 2 x first rounders this year, our first rounder next year. Id be having a serious crack at Patton and Lynch at the end of the year. Add one of those 2 and add in a couple more draftees plus Xavier Richards and I reckon we're in a fantastic position for sustained success.
