I think team balance is a funny thing...in general....a quality tall beats an average small....every day of the week. I look at the team from a different angle...who is the least skilled, lowest "footy smarts" player out there....why worry about 5 or 6 cm in height difference....very few games of footy are decided be a tape measure. Don't get me wrong ...you can't play 18 talls or a midget brigade and expect to win...but with Cameron, Milera, Knight, Atkins, Betts, Brown, Laird, Hampton etc....I think we can play an extra "smart, footy minded tall" and Smash almost anyone. With this line of thought I'm hoping Otten plays almost every game. He's a super smart footballer. Most others want to drop him for "team balance"...ba humbug !!! Rubbish.Yeah I can see the issue with structure and match ups.
They may have to make a tough call on Otten.
