Whilst we all have thoughts on whom should replace Wellman- it is a mighty important decision by our FD. We have had a great defence orchestrated and developed by Wellman and now has become the one of the best backline in the AFL. We need to continue down this path. With the promise of our mdfielders the coaching of this area is critical to our future wishes for premiership glory. Lastly our forward structure of having players such as Petterd, Bate, Jetta and Maric fighting for a spot along with Green, Dunn,Watts, Davey, Wonaeamirri along with the development of Gawn and Fitzpatrick and the probability of getting Hale brings me to the point that maybe we should gain a specialist forward coach such as John Barker to our fold to instrument a similar position to Wellman and our current backline .This also would allow us to go after a part time defensive specialist coach such as Max.
