We have tall backs.
Rance. Griffiths. Grimes. Astbury.
I feel Post should be given another season. Ditto Moore.
do we are griffiths and astbury really backs. both are tall forwards if you ask me.
we are after, not necesarily these players but their exact type in lake, merret. players around about 195cm/100kg.
we definately need 4 things asap.
given that ive written off graham, derickx, as keepers and vickery as a ruckman maybe even as a keeper, and have doubts over browne we need a quality young ruckman in our system like yesterday. ffs maric is 26yo. we could also do with a mature one as well to actually cover in case of injury.. jon griffen would be my target not likely but would have a crack he may want out.. do this and cut the garbage straight out of the system.
we need at least 5 genuine mids. may not be able to get em all in one go but we had better make a hole in the number. pick 10ish, and two picks arouind 30 35 means we can get two straight of the bat.
we need a genuine big bodied fb yes freakin fb. about 195cm/ 100kg will be fine. do it thru free agency even as a short term solution. but ffs draft with a reasonable pick a big bodied fb in the nd.this allows us to move rance to chb where if anyone cares to look hes most suited.
last we need a tall forward not neccesarily kp.if o' hanlon works out we may have one but would still go out and draft another.
finally its not height but size that is the problem. nearly all of our talls outside of ivan seem undersized. though we could do with a defender whos both big and over 195cm.
for me if possibel and it did not cost the earth
b/ morris - merret - grimes.
hb/ dea - rance - batchelor/moore/helbig depending on what the match ups are.
that would leave a forward structure of
hf/ quick skillful player - astbury - o'hanlon.
f/ griffiths - riewoldt - quick skillful player
