The problem for adding a 4th smaller option to the forward line is that it's pretty obvious from the way those who play in the midfield are talking (eg Seb and most recently Armo), that with so many midfield options now, some of them are going to be rotating through the forward line and wings a lot more, meaning the likes of Stuv, Armo, Sincs and maybe Dunstan will spend more time forward.
Most here are already struggling to fit in all 23 that seem "best 22" (as in, were generally picked every week by the end of the year, or prior to injury, plus Paddy, who replaces Roo), so to fit in Lonie or any of the others, two who fit that above criteria would have to miss, and to me it's really really really hard to see who they would be. Unless injured/struggling.
I can certainly see how they might not want to play all 4 of Steele, Dunstan, Armo and Koby, for team balance, but I don't see two of them playing VFL, and then who do you leave out, Acres?
He was actually the 4th non-key position forward option for most of last season, given that that's where he played most of the time. The likes of Lonie/Long/Minch/Wright were generally a 5th.
We also had 8 "backs" for some of the year- Carlisle, Brown, Gilbert, Robbo, Gears, Joey, Webster, Savage/D-Mac/White.
Will be really interesting to see which balance we go with this year.
