Yeah, not sure I agree that the wings are our biggest weakness. I think with our squad it's our biggest opportunity. Berry, Tunstill, Wilmot, McKenna, Dev, Bailey, Ah Chee, Answerth, Sharp, plenty with the ability to claim that role. It may take a while to work out who suits it best, but once it's sorted I think we'll be right. It's an area, along with sm/med half-backs, that maybe be our biggest uncertainties, but with the quality of players pushing for those roles I can't see them as a weakness.
Biggest weakness, without doubt, is our tall defenders. Even then it's not a weakness with the starting quality of players, Andrews, Gardiner, Payne. It's a weakness in the depth. All 3 are injury prone to some degree. Rayner has been trialled down back but I do think he would struggle against a tall, tall fwd. We have Joyce, unproven as yet, Gunston can and has gone back with some success, and then we have Fullerton and possibly Lester, but both I think would be last options.
Like every club, we are susceptible to multiple injuries in a position. Our susceptibilities are tall defenders and possibly tall forwards, even ruck if both O and Fort go down at the same time. But again the weakness is in depth not starting quality. Joyce, Fullerton, H Smith and Lane, big questions for these tall lads if disaster strikes but also great opportunity if they can stand up n take it.
