With many teams deciding to have small forward lines and succeeding this season, what would be wrong with doing the total opposite.

Stacking the forward line.

Sitting Longmuir/Sandilands, Polak, Pavlich and McPharlin down there. Having no crumbers, with the likes of Farmer etc at the edge of the centre square.

Teams are always going to flood us with our power up forward, so lets stretch the ******** out of them I say.

Try double/triple teaming Pavlich and letting Longmuir,Polak or McPharlin unguarded.
We have a massive pool of Key position talent, time to make opposition teams hurt.

Nice in theory but I think you have to have crumbers. Last game was a good example of that - too many people going for the mark and not enough people (or at least Dockers) prepared to stay down and win the crumbs from these large pack contests. Tall players generally have the weakness of not being as speedy, agile and can't pick up the ball from the ground as quickly as smaller players - you have to have the right balance.
