I'm not sure what your issue is here. I named those we had available on our list last year who could hold down a key position. Only three on that list were available this game, and one of those played midfield.
The last time we have been comparatively poor in that regard was the Richmond game last year. And look how Johnson played then.
You bitch on and on about how we (and how modern football) only need 1 tall forward (Pavlich) but contradict yourself all over the shop. That is it really.
Why would we worry about Tarrant going if that is the case?
Why do we have so many tall defenders who can all play KPB? You named 4 who were all in our best 22 last year.
Why do Cats, Hawks, Saints, Crows, Eagles, Lions, Pies etc etc all have forward structures with a minimum of 2 KPF's?
I have a son around your age, and it is very amusing how he can make a case for an argument I don't agree with, but can easily understand, but you can't.
