Duryea should take Suckers spot. Solid kick, but can also defend really well. No loss there at all. Then you have Lithers come in for Duryea and he has proven his ability to shut down small forwards - disposal needs work but so did that of Smith and Hill initially. We are OK losing Suckers.
Suckling spent most of this year playing as an outside midfielder/ half forward/ half back. Duryea is good down back because he can be a lock down defender, is tough and can kick. He would be wasted in Sucklings role.
Litherland has a lot of work to do on his kicking and composure. Has very similar problems to Langford, in that he often just bombs it long. Thats not how we like to set up out of defence.
Kicking often seems to be underrated on this board, yet it is about the most important factor for the coaches.
Howe, Hartung and O'Rouke are more likely to come in, than Litherland.
