Look none of us want to see Johnno out as he brings poise and coolness to the back line and is just a great player.
But..... losing tall defenders is not a huge issue. They have basically a small mobile forward line with Gunston out. Breust, Rioli, Poppy, Hodge kick all the goals. We only need one for Roughhead and one for the resting ruckman.
Slime won by using small attacking runners out of the backline. We need Clancee, Suban, Hill, Sheridan, Gu, Sutcliffe to run the pants off them.
We can still do this.
