I’m still a bit nervous about our stock of tall forwards, but I’m very optimistic about our small forwards. In particular, I thought before the season than Schultz was a placeholder until a better small forward presented himself, but it looks like his spot at the moment. I might have underestimated him.
I really like Switta and Crowden too (I love the way Switta's tackles stick), so there is going to be heaps of pressure for spots, especially if Sturt and Henry start to push into the team. I think a forward line of Tabs, Lobb, Sturt, Henry and some combination of Schultz/Switta/Crowden looks really well balanced to me.
I think Treacy is probably just injury cover for Tabs and Lobb at this point, and if in doubt I’d lean to the inclusion of another small forward than Treacy at this stage.
