they do base a lot of their gameplan around support casts doing their job over 4 quarters, rather than x-factor or flair.
Won them a premiership too.
He will play there more next year though one would think. If Boyd and Redpath are ready to go, i cant see them going much taller than that.
Fair point but Bont was huge in the finals series, did a lot of his work in the guts.
A fair few players played out of their skin too, not sure if Smith, Dunkley, Libba, Dahlhaus can reproduce their form.
I’d personally have their forward line as:
HF: Dahlhaus Schache Daniel
F: Crozier Boyd Smith
Looks very vanilla but I don’t think the midfield holds up without Bont, and if they want to reutrn to 2016 finals form they need Dunkley, Lipinski, McLean, Dale to really kick on and that will happen easier with Bont there IMO. I think Dickson and Crameri losing form came at a good time, the Dogs can’t keep getting away with no talls and I think they need a legitimate huge power forward who can split packs, take marks and kick bags, and I don’t think that is Redpath.
