Didn't we very nearly win the Grand Final with minimal output from Riewoldt?
Let's not forget who got us into the grand final in the first place.
Let's talk in % terms - for the sake of argument.
The way I see it -
There's only 1% separating the top 3 or 4 teams but our over-reliance on Riewoldt means we need Riewoldt to make up 10%.
Riewoldt won't always make that 10% difference - and if he's rendered ineffective we are up to 9% behind the other top 3 teams due to our over-reliance on him.
He wasn't completely ineffective in the grand final but he could only make up 5% let's say - so we were 4% short of the Cats.
Kosi could be that effective marking decoy we need and take the focus away from Riewoldt if he could just hold more of the marks he keeps dropping.
Wouldn't we be better off if we only relied on Riewoldt to make up 6% difference and the other 4% could come from Kosi's improvement or by finding/developing another effective mid sized forward ? .. instead of continously needing the 10% from Riewoldt especially in the finals?
