Forward Line Restructure - Longer Term Implications

[WaynesWorld19]

Nearly got the jackpot IMO.

Mcgregor will be FF which only leaves room for one of Sellar/Tippett this year.

Craig is very unlikely to play Sellar and Tippet in the same side as key forwards this year. Next year??? Maybe yes.

Playing 3 talls in the forward line is not uncommon with AFL sides .....we've done it with Perrie, Kenny and Hentschell.

I agree to some degree this season ......but I would be uncomfortable with just Kenny and Tippett/Sellar ......that to me seems very fragile.

The key is Gill ......if you have him, Kenny and Tippett/Sellar ......then that's a situation Iam much more in favour of.

But I thinlk there will be games where Sellar and Tippett play together with Kenny / Gill in the same side ...this season ......if nothing else that may be dictated by injuries.

Not sure how they'll handle Kenny ......he seems best when not a focul point of an attack and he's getting 3rd best tall.

FF line is ideal but again IMO he will be too easily negated if he's the focus .....correct me if I'm wrong bt in the NAB cup he has been getting alot of kicks/marks around the 50 mtr line ......suggesting he's playing as a roaming forward??

Did you see him last week .....what role was Kenny playing?

He's playing the role of the poor clunker who has to stand under the high ball all the time - generally in an arc no more than 30 metres from goal.

It's a bit of a sacrifice game to enable the other forwards more freedom and it seems to be working.
