Midfield quickness is a bit of an issue for us. The much bigger issue is lack of two way running on large grounds which compounded when we start to increase our turnovers.

A problem we've had in the past is our spread from packs, it gets highlighted whenever we play Carlton. I cant see that improving due to the guys you've named above aswell as Howlett, and Hocking; However i think the solution lies with the improved midfield play of Dempsey, Zaka and Stants. These three are oh so important imo, as if they go down, like they did last year, our run will go too.It's going to be a big midfield this year, that's for certain. Watson, Goddard, Myers and Heppell are all touching or over 190cm - as are Davies and Lovett-Murray, for that matter. I can't think of another team that has that sort of collective height through the centre... for example, Hawthorn's tallest recognised midfielder would be Isaac Smith, who I think is listed at about 188cm.
I'm not saying it's going to be a defining factor of our season... just think it's an interesting sidenote.
