It is interesting when you think about our structure that day. Hamling and Roberts effectively played 'twin post' roles down back with Wood and Morris also down there...so for all our concern about lack of run and carry from defence, look at the foundation of the group that won us the flag?
I understand the move of Cordy to the d50 - he is not a natural forward - but we have been very quick to throw away Roberts who was always a limited but quietly effective player...IF he does play this week, it would almost be as a replacement for Morris and would (to me at least) make some sense in terms of the structure of the side.
Would that leave us with a back seven of:
Wood, Crozier, Cordy, Duryea, Suckling, Daniel and ROBERTS?
If so, how does that look across the other lines? The forward seven would be:
Naughton, Schache, Lloyd, MacLean, Wallis and...
And the on-ball group (eight) would be:
English, Bont, Hunter, Macrae, Liber, Dunkley (holy hell, that is first class), Richards, Williams and Smith?
I'm still two short...I guess that ONE needs to be Trengove (though I think we just got very big and slow) and I would like to think Dickson is the other??
