I think the game has shifted away from scrappers in the forward line. You need finishers. Hence George and Aarts are battling.

Once again, forwards are better than defenders, if you give them the chance.

B - Rioli Astbury Grimes
HB - Stack Broad Vlastuin
C - Pickett Bolton Parker
HF - Lambert Balta Edwards
F - Riewoldt Lynch ...(MoJu? Stack?)
R - Nankervis Cotchin Prestia
I - Baker Chol Graham Short/Mansell

Beat that side in September and you probably win the flag.
No doubt about that , someone commented that the freedom for the fb to run 25m before launching means there’s less ball staying i50 for the small forwards to do their defensive stuff , we ve been caught out a bit there , as ours were scrappers first footballers second. The 2021 evolution has corrected that role and we need to focus on more skilled natural small forwards with defensive skills second , MRJ should be prime candidate, no rush though , likely another pre season would benefit
