Surely that's the same thing though ?I don't think Atkins issue is a lack of killer instinct, just a complete inability to win the ball himself. He's 100% outside, when we don't win the midfield battle a guy like that is going to look largely invisible.
Someone with that hard killer instinct will get the ball themselves when required.
This is where Gibson will help....he gives us a midfield option that is super fit...and hunts the ball when required.
I don't understand people's thinking that we even need outside runners....if that means someone who just won't go in when required? Just get fast, fit players with GUTS !!! ....inside,outside,skinny,fat,short,tall....who cares.
Was the Richmond team perfectly balanced ? ....if yes our team structure needs changing....if no ...then "team structure" is massively overstated and we just need better personnel that can make it happen and don't reply on their teammates to do all the heavy lifting for them. Jenkins is the worst in this regard.
