Hey Dlanod, I’m talking about a “fine tune” not wholesale changes to our forward line.
Surely a ranking of 17th calls for a wholescale change? After all, that's the stat you brought to the table.
Specifically on McStay, if one of the kids develops to the point where they can provide a combination of contested marking and the ability to bring the ball to ground even if they don't mark it - I expect they'll get a go. I do not fondly remember the years not too long ago where our players were bullied off their line and the ball leading to defensive uncontested marks.
However, I find the unquestioned use of Champion Data rankings ridiculous even if they're just trying to be attached as a different spin to a regularly made point. Those rankings are much more worthy of questioning than McStay's current value to the team. Using the team rankings to make a point about a specific player is even sillier.
