We are restricted by what we do because we have so many smalls in the team. Smalls generally cant play tall what you have is what you have got.
Houli, Short, Lambert, Edwards, Rioli, Butler, Higgins, Graham, Ellis, Prestia, and possibly Weller as well. All smalls hard to change things with so many of the one type once you go small you are stuck with it.
Personally i would like to see more mediums or tall mids in the side at the expense of a couple of smalls it has to help with flexability.
I think one reason Grigg and McIntosh have played so many games is the lack of bigger mids in the team
To me get rid of the squibs play some players even smalls who will cope with pressure play RC-D and Ross, Sydney Stack a small yes, but he is hard at it and actually wins contested ball and lays a good tackle.
Lynch will play when fit it gives us options and Balta is an athlete and gives us genuine flexability. Imo we dont lose anything by playing these guys especially at the expense of blokes like Houli,Ellis, Short etc.
