That does show the benefit of having a taller forward, does it not?
At Subiaco on a dry day against a travelling Essendon team that's played 3 games in 15 days, that doesn't have a strong ruck or 2nd ruck, and with Sandilands - its worth a try.
Again, there's a decision to be made this weekend. Hawthorn don't have monster backs unless the play Schoenmakers back. Do you need the extra tall to exploit the lack of size and inexperience in defence, or do you go with a more mobile side? I would think at this stage if we lock into a 3 tall forward structure when none of the three are stars - there's always a risk of being too tall for little benefit - especially if the tall that is supposed to relieve in the ruck isn't much of a ruckman.
