Charlie would play wing like Nick Reiwoldt ddidand drift down for a few goals and have the play come through him on the wing as a marking target.
A fit Charlie could play most spots IMO,  think we just need to look after him and not turn him into the next Andrew Walker who didnt know where he was playing from week to week. I'm still unsure if three talls down forward works better than two talls....Harry and McGovern have worked ok in tandem IMO and maybe depending on the opposition we need to change things up and not be so rigid playing three talls forward all the time even though it looks more menacing on paper

I think the three of them have different strengths.
H marks strongly above his head when the ball is out in front or above his head. He has strong hangs and coupled with this height will be a defenders nightmare.
Gov seems to be more at home closer to goal. Whether it be sitting on their heads or out bodying one or two opponents. He then kicks straight from any angle. Can swing to defence and help there also.
Charlie's best position is around the 50m arc whether gathering the ball off the ground, on the lead or standing on their heads, then wielding around and having a ping.
If they play to those strengths and can keep out of each others way, they will trouble many defences.

Keeping out of each others way is probably what I was alluding to, interesting this week that North have two good key defenders but lack that 3rd taller defender, would they be brave enough
to play brother Ben on Harry so they could have the right height matchup. Maybe the 3rd tall works this week for us...

All three are bloody good marks really - in any situation.

If we had quality small forwards, it would warrant going smaller, but when you look at the list of players and see names like polson, o brien, Gibbons, garlett (not jeff) you start wondering whether or not we are better off dropping another one and playing Kerr as well.

The injuries are a bit of a concern.
Kreuzer's return probably coincided with some of our best 6 quarters for the year.

Our strength has been our backline and the injuries there on the weekend suddenly had it looking a bit shaky and unsure.
Some of the errors could possibly be attributed to the uncertainty and the lack of support that was created with Simpson and Newman missing.

How well we cover that will be a significant factor in the result.

Even though I love him, Simpson has also had some critical turnovers and Newman is just a solid depth player. Kreuzer is a big loss but how many times can we say that.

Simpson and Newman  are more about the structure of the defence and the roles they play.
Jones has been great this year.. but I wonder whether some of his uncertainty on the weekend stemmed from their missing as the game progressed
That's where it may be hard to cover

BTW I think Newman has been more than just a good depth player for us this year.
