I'm fine with this, but a defence of Morris, Naughton, Cordy and Wood seems too tall and slow. Having one rotate out (either between the bench or shifting Cordy forward instead) seems to be a better solution to me. Otherwise if we're confident that Naughton forward is the best path for him, then we 100% need to recruit a big name KPD this yearI really hope we don’t move Naughton forward. He was as good as any 18 year old defender I’ve seen last year, reads the play as well as anyone and is our best intercept defender. With Adams gone, I’m not sure we have anyone on our list that offers what Naughton does down back. There is probably a good argument that key defenders are as important as key forwards these days anyway.
Schache improved as the year went on last year and should take one key forward spot. I’d be happy with the resting ruckman playing the other key forward position and just fly for marks and get the ball to ground Zaine Cordy 2016 style.
