Matt Maguire
Luke Ball
Tom Lynch
Brendon Goddard
and even Zac Dawson, Raph Clarke, and Jason Gram.

Lynch is holding down CHF for Adelaide
Maguire still performing at FB for Brisbane.

Re: How much stronger would we be if
Dawson the most important there given our current woes with tall defenders. Maguire maybe also, though he's a bit more similar to what we have.

i agree with this- Zac was probably structurally more important than Goddard. Not a better player or anywhere near it but we didn't have anyone else to swap over to.

Re: How much stronger would we be if
guys Zac was made to look good by floating defenders... please think to 2011 season.. we was found out a lot.
Goose would still love to have him... Ball 100% Goddard... he's missed for sure.

Re: How much stronger would we be if
That may or may not be true, but regardless it'd be great to have 197cm guy who's an actual key defender playing back there. He'd do a better job than Rhys did last night.ShanghaiSaint wrote:guys Zac was made to look good by floating defenders... please think to 2011 season.. we was found out a lot.

Re: How much stronger would we be if
I think you will see when we get a KPB that they don't need to rack up numbers or drive the ball out of defence. Brown will punch from behind and make life hard for his opposite number but won't set the world alight. Zac copped heaps because he was seen as a usurper to Max Hudgetons career. He still leads the comp in 1%ers apparently so can't be as bad as people think. He only got destroyed a few times at the Saints but he was a competent defender for most of his time with us.

Re: How much stronger would we be if
with a key back, i hope stanley can play the ruck floating defender down back... but unsure as he could be better forward.. he's a hard one atm.gringo wrote:I think you will see when we get a KPB that they don't need to rack up numbers or drive the ball out of defence.

Re: How much stronger would we be if
Never mind all that - what difference what it make to have a fit and healthy Fisher, Gilbo and Gwilt out there (Gwilt is not 100%). And maybe even a fit Maister so we at least don't have to play our skipper on one leg.

Re: How much stronger would we be if
I reckon we would be about 7 wins but maybe worse off in the long run. Would be on the salary cap limit and even further behind in the rebuilding process and even more older players.

Re: How much stronger would we be if
Just add Dave McNamara, Roy Cazaly, Welles Eike, Verdun Howell & Darrel Baldock and we'd have a legendary team! Be like our own field of dreams... Dreams are about all we have this year ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
