Incidentally, when people talk about how we miss JD, they always talk about his kicking. However, as has been pointed out, we have lots of great kicks in our team: Blakey, Campbell, McInerney, Paddy McCartin, Rampe, Florent, Mills, Stephens, Heeney and Buddy all kick well. What people sometimes forget is that JD is excellent overhead and that is a tougher thing to cover. Blakey is taller but not as good. Errol is great for his size but under 180 cm. Nobody really replaces that marking ability. Still, we have so much else going for us that hopefully it's not going to matter too much and we'll make up for it in other ways.
