Re: The forward line 2024 - who plays and how is it structured?

For mine....
HF - Martin - Charlie - Owies
FF - Motlop - McKay - Kennedy
I'd have both Cottrell and Cuningham on the bench as forward/mid options.
Agreed, this would be my starting F50 as well.
No doubt about Cripps being used in F50 rotations, last season was the tell, his F50 craft has gone to another level and I'm hoping Walsh, Martin, Williams and Doc all stay fit as it means Cripps won't be as buggered when he pushes forward. That's a beautiful thing for the likes of Martin, Cottrell, Acres, Kennedy and perhaps even McGovern, Kemp or Doc, because the opposition can't put a dud on Cripps anymore meaning they get a downgrade, or even better float in unattended.
As long as our F50 smalls including Motlop and Owies work hard dragging opponents all over the deck, and chase down the turnovers, it's looking like we have a lethal setup.
