Slightly off topic, but we also don't have a single player who is quick enough to run around and away from an opponent. Richmond have 3 or 4.
With Lenny out, we also don't have a single player who can make a tackle stick when the opposition player is other than stationary.
I knew I was sticking my neck out, and thanks for the corrections guys!
Point 1...with the exception of BJ
Point 3....with exception of Bakes, and maybe CJ, but both best when coming from behind.

Peake has a reasonable turn of speed...of course, as we know, what he does with it past that is anyone's guess. As you may have noticed, I'm still not convinced we need speed as much as a lot of forumites claim, but we could do with a skill injection. It's only R2, this will (hopefully) improve.
Collingwood don't rely on accuracy they just pepper and defend the rebound. We should look at doing the same, the Tigers hurt us with the forwards tackling our backline players who would get done holding the ball. They took kicks out wide and from distance but it creates excitement and opportunities. Eventually they get a result from the bombardment.
