No point picking guys who are much better kicks or faster if they can't beat their man either. It is why all the fawning over Clark has me miffed, he's still just a prospect but there is literally no one from our backline I'd rather him in the side ahead of. Not one.
Not that simple IMO. Cameron and DeGoey are dynamic and he matches up well on them, not sure I'd trust any of MOC, Henry or Bews on DeGoey and the only other that could take Cameron imo is Bews. But he too like JK is blasted on here for disposal, as is Blicavs.
Clark looks more a wingman to me than a defender. Super quick, can take a grab and has a penetrating kick.
Get games into the kids ..if they get stuck Blitz can be moved back .. and Sdek can move sideways.. someone like Kolo has played on the wing before... im sure they can make it work. Kruger at CHB ? It would be a heck of a change for our backline ..but both of them are quiet good overhead.
I think JJ will only play if covering for an injured player. He is no where near our best 22, I'd prefer to see him go but he does still have a year left on his contract

Think Hardwick might suggest hitting exit targets is quite important. Perhaps breaking lines and not being top heavy too.
It's not either or. You need both as well as other skills. Defending is the simple part of the game. Using the ball well, particularly under pressure, takes ability.
Well, our group clearly doesn't have many who are good at both. Who on the list could play the roles of Bews, Henry, Kolodjashnij and Blicavs and can use the footy?
Theyll want way more than Cocky's value for Witherden, contracted for another 2 years and Rich and Birchall are both the wrong side of 30.
Steven is 31 in March, they fall off a cliff at that age in regular circumstances and the guy effectively hasnt played in 2 years, huge ask to expect much from him at all.
I'll leave it to the experts as to who will step-up and/or be trained-up from the existing list. And the recruiters to find one or two. Just making the point it's not an either/or thing as you suggest.
Most likely that they'll want more than Cocky.
People always compare our defence to Richmond but they played 4 guys over 190cm all finals series and Vlastuin isn't exactly short either, our smalls just don't do enough in comparison.
Except completely wiping out the best tall fwd the opposition all season. His finals series was amazing. Anybody that says otherwise is absolutely taking the p1ss and knows zero about football.
This our defenders are relying to heavily on the support of our mids dropping back they need to be given the tools to be more self sufficient. on top of this the mids are being asked to supply the goals as well,this gruelling run up and down the ground game plan for the mid field group needs a re think a second key forward a jack in the box marking medium tall and Miers permanently forward would help take pressure off them and keep us in games later in the season for longer with the reduced work load.
Who was the Port player who played on Hawkins in the qual final. Classic example of on paper he looks to have done a very good job. Harry has been fantastic... and if he wants to stay , maybe we find a spot ..but we have to push onwards. Do we want to be sitting here in 12 months with still no games in our potentials?Will Harry still be able to go another 12 months? Its a bit hard to just shed him when we are chasing other older types..
