Stating the bloody obvious I know but we're clearly missing Brett Burton from our side.
I think our forward line has looked a bit better the past couple of weeks, with Jars leading out from the goalsquare, while Perrie has looked pretty impressive as the roaming half forward. If we can play Robran or Hewitt as the more traditional CHF who we aim at, Vardy as the crumber, Burton is crucial as the half forward flanker who drifts around goal and can take the high mark. Suddenly our forward line looks just a little more dangerous.
Burton is a tough player to match up on and I don't think it's any coincidence that we displayed our best form in the games against Rich, Bris and Gee when he was playing well and kicking goals.
Seems as though he's still another 3 weeks away so sadly we'll have to do without him for a few games yet.
