    We simply do not have the gamestyle for undersized key forwards. They way we move the ball slowly and try to get repeat entries and bomb it long means the only type of KPF that would truly do well in our forwardline is a genuine 198cm+ type.

    Ellis and Newnes are not bad free agent options. Obviously Hill and Langdon are better options but will cost picks/players. I would not be surprised to see us end up with 2 of the aforementioned 4. That would balance our team up very nicely.

    I'd also be going hard at Papley as a fwd/mid.

    Time to bring in Kielty and play him up forward so we can at least contest the ball in the air.

    TMac out for a rest if he's not fully fit or off to Casey to find form if he doesn't have an excuse. Wouldn't be against dropping Weideman to bring in someone like Lockhart too.

    I watched him play as a small forward last year. 

    Don't know about this year. Perhaps part of the positional changes are due to the fact that he is yet to do well in any of them. 

    I know it doesn't prove anything but you can see his possession numbers and rebound 50s are higher than you'd ever expect from a small forward. I was watching him closely all season and he was up the ground as much as any of their mids.

    Watch for Joel MacDonald in the F50 this year, with his size and speed, he is going to be tough to tag. He'll get the third tall defender and will roast them. 

     

    About as likely as seeing him in the ASX200...

    How is anyone suggesting OMac should be dropped?

    We don't play 1v1 in the backline anymore. It's not his fault that Hawkins had 20m of space to lead in to, straight at the ball carrier, for the entire last quarter.

    Some sort of obscure joke..?

    Not at all mate. Get your hand off it.
    Trade a surplus with value for a need with similar value. You must not be paying much attention this year.
