Don’t mind the idea of pushing Redman and McKenna up the ground more, use Ridley and Gleeson to rebound with their kicking, and BZT should get some opportunities next year with Hurley / Hooker both likely to need managing along with the general risk of injury to various players.
McKenna and Redman are both good sizes, mobile, solid overhead and accurate by foot. Not sure McKenna can play as a genuine winger but pretty sure Redman could.
It’s a hard team to get a read on; Parish has generally been solid as a contested player but just had an off night, Shiel and Merrett however have really butchered the ball by foot this year.
We need a support ruckman for Bellchambers, who’s better than Zac Clarke that means we don’t try to play a 30% fit Bellchambers in a final.
We need some contested ball winners, someone like SPP might fit the bill but likely to cost more than he’s really worth to us. Hibberd sounds like a perfect fit for us as a mature body who’s the right size, a natural midfielder, and likely to be around the picks we have available.
A lot hinges on whether we can actually get our best team on the park, and extract consistent effort from the playing group.
