You don't think our backline is still undersized? Garland and Rivers around the 192cm mark. I understand Garland has played well on athletic talls like Buddy in the past but what will we do when we come against teams with two KPF (Collingwood, Hawthorn, St Kilda etc). Frawley is still only about 194-5cm he needs another tall down there to help out.

Just about Bennell... I'm not sure what the hype is about him. He averaged minimal number of disposals for game last season, showed a glimpse or two of brilliance with his run and carry and a couple of marks but apart from that, he has not shown any consistency in his game to say he deserves his spot in the team.

Anyone know what the expose on rory was about?

I think that reasoning on Moloney is unfair. He is the only midfielder who stood tall last season around an otherwise average midfield group. When playing against top teams, he didn't have other big bodies around the stoppages to help block and share the load, of course he goes missing against top teams. We need "elite" midfielders, something we seem to still be lacking. Sylvia has potential, hopefully under Neeld he will gain some maturity and consistency, Trengove is classy and can use the ball well so hopefully he will improve and hopefully Jones can find the ball more and continue his improvement on disposal by foot, perhaps by adding grimes into the midfield this will add a touch of class if he can improve his disposal by foot.

Really need a second tall backman. Rivers, Garland are both undersized and most opposition teams have two KPF. Rivers is definitely not a KPB leaving Frawley our only choice. With Sellar coming into the team, Martin can be maintained as a ruck/forward while Sellar stays at CHB. This frees up Rivers as a Maxwell types player, which is what he specializes in. We need to move Grimes into the midfield to provide us with a potential super star (similar to moving Zaharakis into the midfield at Essendon).

Rory wasn't even considered to be selected in the draft by many, does anyone know why we picked him above players like talia and grigg, both of whom were considered potentially high draft picks?

Grimes into the midfield... really need a consistent player who has good efficiency in there.

Need to get rid of Josh... forward line has been one of the biggest weaknesses all along
