My thought is if you're getting Schache you can't get Reid or Trengove (can take either one of those two without Schache), Schache needs to come down and slot straight into the AFL side to learn and improve, languishing in the VFL will not help him. Neither Trengove or Reid are coming to be anything other than best 22.
I used to think three talls worked but not convinced anymore, its the law of diminishing returns 2 makes us better but a third doesn't improve us enough to outweigh the loss of forward half pressure and speed by dropping on Rioli, Castagna, Butler and Bolton.
Three talls works .... the key is having talls on an adequate standard.
A good player will get a kick regardless of whether he is 155cm or 200cm.
The Crows function with Walker, Jenkins and Lynch.
The Hawks previouslyt played Buddy, Roughead and Gunston.
It works if you have talent.
