I thought he was fairly serviceable last year. He's no star, but he appears to hold his own down back mostly.  

Was much better in defence than the on the wing that’s for sure.

He’s our best option for 3^rd tall defender at the moment but I’m hoping Petty can get over his injuries and take his spot in the team. Tomlinson is a solid citizen but I think Petty’s upside is far greater.

Serviceable, yes. I still see him as a winger opposite Langdon as he finds space that has so far been unseen by panicky players.

I understand that you may not rate Joel, and I remain unconvinced, but please show a little respect for one of our listed players.

spargo and pickett another year and more mature should be improved and provide the small forward players you refer too

Pickett needs help down there. 

I hope Spargo can contribute but he's an odd player. He is very good as a link player from half forward but don't know about his pressure. 

I think we need more than two though. Three good pressure forwards at a minimum.

Ultimately, I 'd like to see a mix that has two talls (B.Brown + one of Weideman, Jackson or TMc), one medium (likely Fritsch) and three quality small forwards (Pickett + two of Spargo, Bedford, Chandler, Laurie, Bowey or Farmer).

Some tough decisions ahead. I really hope our match committee is willing to make them. Three talls forward of the ball is too many, so at least one good player has to miss out. If we try appease everyone, it will be to our detriment.
