We didn't fix our "problem" - tall forwards - or our suspect tall defenders. We did improve our already awesome (though not quite good enough in the GF) midfield. The only question mark is - the same as last year - does that matter? With Checkers and a host of mid sized forwards we got the job done and the undersized defence stood up manfully, can they do the same again, given we haven't addressed (particularly the forward) issue?
I think so, and I suspect we'll have a lot more acceptance and readiness to rest some players as required this year which will hopefully prolong Moore and maybe even Elliots seasons! (past 0 games  )

Ben I don't think our forward was as small as people think
Cox is a monster, JDG is better than average size like wise WHE and checkers plays taller than some realise
Defence was undersized through the finals for sure and in the end that caught up with us
Moore will be back like wise Dunn and Scharenberg so we have troops. Kelly won't play this season unless we get hit hard by injuries but he looks very likley
Our mids suffered mainly because Sidey and Pendles were held and held well by there lesser players allowing there good mids to concentrate on the ball more
I think we missed a trick not roughing Shuey up he's known for not liking the tough stuff
Adding Beams improves us massively he's a ball winner and good user on the outside
I think our list is fine and am glad we didn't throw the sink at May or Lynch
I wonder how the Tigers forward pressure goes now adding Lynch and May at the Dee's can't play on anything other than slower talls which not every side has |

Roughy chats on Pie website and he seems a good bloke—with the glasses he looks like Clarke Kent

Roughead was recruited primarily as a tall key defender. Also, the club expects Moore to be right to step up next year, so I'd say our apparent KPP weaknesses have been addressed. We have a much better list now, with no obvious weaknesses at all imo. |

Roughead also said he is working with Rocca and Grundy in ruck work

If we had a gun 194cm, agile forward in the Pavlich/Riewoldt class, we would go back to back

I have no idea how people are so confident the club's injury problems will magically solve themselves next year... |

^ They have invested in some of that magic spray the cricketers used back in the 80’s and 90’s.

I believe Moore, Reid and Elliott will all be sleeping under a pyramid, surrounded by scented candles, with Ravi Shanker's sitar music playing on high rotation. They'll be fine.  |
