I am alittle confused by what we seem to be doing. Clearly we need fwds with goal sense and X-Factor and potentially a replacement for Neale, but it seems we might get Lobb who is an average tall. A great pair of hands but no goalkicking history and average backup ruck. That sounds alot like Cox, Tabs, Ape to me. And when you add Stranardica, Jones, Mccarthy, Kerstan to the list of 'average' fwds it just seems silly!
A fwd line of Fyfe, Walters, Matera, Tabs, Bennell (lol) and Darcy resting seems about right for this day and age so where do the above players sit! I would like to see freo pickup Marlion Pickett and Shane Mcadams who is an indigenous electric fwd from Claremont playing in SA...for some more flair.
If we lose Neale we HAVE to give pick 5/6 for Kelly and get it done. Send Blakely into the middle and play Conca off a half back flank (he will come cheap).
But alas...A forward line with Lobb, Tabs, Cox...McCarthy???! Is slow, cumbersome and has no goal kicking nous.
Collingwoods talls are Mihocek and Cox...and they are in a prelim. We dont need Lobb!
Kill Me.
