We also have a number of unproven young runners who are very light and may or may not make it.
If we trade the likes of McMahon and Gia, I hope we have a good plan B. These guys may not be everything we had hoped for, but if I was picking a round 1 team today they are still miles ahead of guys like Hill, Stack and Lynch.
I echo your comments to DT.
We just lack the overall quality of the tall's we have on our list.
Like it or not, the game is very much a running one and unless the tall's you have are quality you are often better to add the extra runners.
As our results would indicate, we need to improve the quality of our KPP but not decimate or diminish the midfield brigade.
