I tend to agree but I guess you could have one of Silvagni, Charlie, McKay and Caaboult on the bench at a time, which means there would be an extra runner on the ground. I'd imagine plowman will play Docherty's role in defence or will pick up mid sized forwards (Bruest, Elliot, Greene and so forth) and Weitering might play a bit looser as an intercepting defender. And Charlie might be tall but he has a midfielders tank so he will spend some time either in the midfield or as that up the ground lead up forward which will reduce congestion in the forward 50. Likewise I think SOSOS plays that lead up link forward well. I wouldn't mind seeing Bryne in the side as well though just not sure who to dropFairly close to how the side may look come rd1 as most of the sides posted are . Oodles of talent but i still dont feel comfortable with the amount of talls we are playing especially back . Much rather see Byrne down back and one less tall who i dont know and most likely wont happen . That forwardline looks good but are we going to be able to apply enough forward pressure on defences to keep the ball locked in enough . I doubt it . Yes lots of run on the bench and we'll need it . If we go in with a side like this with 9 talls and we probably will . I suspect the want for a faster tempo game may not last that long and we could be playing an ultra defensive game once again . Could be way off the mark but id love to see more running players in the side .
