To be honest whenever I am critical of Pettifer it is primarily because I want him to be able to lead, present and mark like O'Keefe or Hentschel. 

Bit hard on Pettifer. He's 184 cm, O'Keefe is 190 and Hentschel 194.

I did say my criticism might be unfair and I'll be honest O'Keefe looks short and stocky. Regardless of Pettifer's height presumably he will have a defender near his own height and manouverability it therefore comes down to his ability to mark on the run and under pressure. Being able to consistently present and outmark your opponent is what I am intereted in. How does relative height come into it if your opponent is only as tall as you?

Anyway I am not having a big go at Kayne just saying that I really would like to see a strong marking non spine player on the HFF. Brownie being locked near the goalsquare to maximise the pain for the opposition - this guy's role is to get it to the top of the square.
 
The perfect person for this is Daniel McConnel, hes the same height as O'keefe, can run all day, has great hands, Not fast but not slow either. He would be perfect for this IMO
