Our "best back 6" changes relative to the forward line we are up against. A Geelong or West coast forward line tends to call for tall defenders who are good in the air. Who can spoil and take intercept marks. A Fremantle or Collingwood forward line mostly calls for smaller defenders who are good at ground level. Who can sweep up loose/chaos balls and are quick and agile enough to stop skillful crumbers.Now that we have all of our defenders available, Clarko is going to have to decide what he thinks our best back six looks like.
We looked undersized against the Cats, but with both Lake and Shoenmakers available we might have a different problem: how big do we go?
I have taken a stab at whay I think our best back six looks like on my blog. Check it out and let me know what you think.
