There is also Florent and Sam Fisher, who both seem to be starting well. KJ may move forward and open space for Heeney and Mills in the midfield.
Dawson is also starting well this season and has plenty of talent. He could also come under consideration if he stars in the practice matches.
It will be interesting to see the relative positions of Robinson and Foote as backup midfielders.
We just resigned Towers for another 2 years. I don't think it was just to have him play NEAFL games. I've been critical of him, but if he can learn to tackle and apply defensive pressure, he has a lot going for him in other areas of his game.
