Putting in more tall timber will only exacerbate this major weakness.
    I agree. That's why I've suggested that we drop Pyke and make Tippo our #1 ruckman and replace him with a small pressure forward. I think we will fare better once we get McGlynn and Heeney back in the side. And if BJ can only produce at senior level what he does in the NEAFL, we'll have another quick tackling forward to add to that.

    We need to kick more goals whether that means Tippet plays solely as a deep forward and we find another back up ruckman or we keep Reid forward and play another tall defender. It makes our forward line tall but we played our best footy with a tall forward line and getting the ball in quickly.
    Hasn't done much wrong (50m penalty aside) in any of the games he's played. Was a first round draft pick as well after winning Vic Metro's MVP at the national champs in 2013...if we don't show some faith in our high selections then we shouldn't be picking them in ther first place.

    With an extended run at it - hopefully the back half of this season - Jones will comfortably be in our 22.
