I like pantskyle at FB. That real gorilla defender we are looking for. Won't take a backward step and can match it with the beast forwards but burn them for pace on the rebound. KEY inclusion to the 2015 team.

In all seriousness but I see Brown clearly as the FB, McGovern and Schofield rotating between CHB and third tall defender depending on the opposition. Prime example is I'd be more inclined to play Schofield on a Nick Riewoldt athletic type CHF than McGovern.

Will Schofield plays Ned Kelly, does he still have a bushranger beard?

Brown players the lock down tall defender. Sole job is to keep opponent from kicking goals.

The Gov plays the attacking tall backman who zones off to intercept incoming high balls. Normally this is a CHB role.

Schofield plays third tall / backup with rebounding ability. He has bulked up quite a bit over the past off season. Bigger in the legs, core and arms. So he is actually much better equipped now than he has ever been to take on bigger forwards / resting rucks.

I don't see Brown playing on small to medium forwards much this year.
Plus, I'd want Gov further up the ground so that gives us two (along with Hurn) penetrating kicks off half-back into the forward line, skipping our glorious midfield.
