I reckon Mo played her role very well. When she was the main forward with Abba and Daisy Bateman we were too short and slow. I think Abba was better in the middle anyway but the forward line needed Munn and Emma King for the majority of the time. If we could get a kick-ass ruck then Emma King could play forward more which would make Mo even more effective. I don't see what the knock on her could have been, maybe speed or second efforts but I don't think she was worse than a lot of others. She also provided a lot of off field marketability which I think protects the younger players.Fact of the matter is nobody moves on their (equal) leading goal kicker unless they have a replacement in mind. Hope's delisting only makes sense if we've been able to, against the odds, get Munn to re-commit. We can't afford to have such a sluggish forward line next year, so something had to give even though Mo didn't do much else wrong this season (kicked some terrific clutch goals).
Of course, if we also lose our sole Rising Star nominee then I'm out of answers. I'd expect that to mean we're chasing Frederick-Traub, except I don't see how we could get a trade done to make that happen.
