one is not the future and one may not be either, but i would have thought 4 and 3 goals gives him a chance?
When we were playing well Nank was enough v Gawn but do we need 2 now do we?
If we are going to play duds like HRS then will it hurt playing Ryan for a block of games as well?
Why not both Frankie with Lefau.. Ryan straight swap for Kosi forward and he plays kpf. He doesnt need confidence he is coming off 4 and 3 goal hauls.
Naismith as a ruck/fwd Giving both Nankervis and Ryan a chop out.We can change this during a game as well.
Fmd we play two defensive small forwards all the time in Mansell and Rioli for pressure just add another pacey small.
Its also not as if their opponents are gazelles May, McDonald and Lever aren't exactly olympic sprinters.What it does do is keep em honest in the air. It also helps the back half with whoever is rucking playing a kick behind play.
We currently don't have a lot of options but we play and reward a bloke who has thoroughly earnt a game in Naismith. We drop a badly out of form Kosi and bring in a younger bloke who has shown a bit in the two's the last few weeks.
It may not be the ideal structure but it does make for good culture by rewarding players for good form. It is why i think Smith should be getting a game in Shorts spot he is in the bests the last 3 weeks and we reward good form with a like for like replacement. In fact Smith has far better attributes than old shortsteps.
