Tippett is likely to spend more time forward than Nankervis has, so it will be different.

With Buddy playing further up the ground we've wanted someone to play that deeper role, but Tippett can now do that.

I don't think you also need Richards there when Tippett is - particularly given that Heeney and Rohan can take contested marks (hence my reference to them originally).

Richards has been OK against non-finals teams, but I think we're better off with another ground level player given Tippett will crash more packs and bring the ball to ground - even that is Parker spending more time forward, or K.Jack (as in the Geelong game).
