KB no class? Milne could do anything. By class I mean players that do the same thing consistently over and over and do it well. I mentioned Rioli because he doesn't have to touch the ball all that often to make things happen. He is consistent with his constructive play. He has gone backwards but showing signs of improving. George has one great trait, speed. But he is very one dimensional. Aarts has no speed but a bit of class as in he doesn't make mistakes and has good ball use. Butler had class but went missing so often. Higgins makes things happen when he touches the ball, class, but he is slow. All the players mentioned are missing something, unlike KB, Milne, Betts etc. Bolton as it by the truckload, but is too important in the middle right now. Edwards might be our best bet because we need him more up front that around the ball and considering how much footy he has missed it might be the teams best go.
Our smalls worked well as a collective group in 2017/18 because they were all super quick and hunted as a pack. The pace is missing now so those times seem to be on the wane. So why not experiment with Dow. Pace, good overhead, hunts the ball. Been said that he is a mid, but Gary Ablett started as a small forward. What can it hurt to give him a go.
Baker is another as you say, but he is playing so well and is super composed under pressure, more so than all our backs bar Vlastuin and Grimes, so can we afford to lose that.
