The forward line 2024 - who plays and how is it structured?
When I did Kruddler's best 22, my forward line was:
HF: Martin McKay Owies
F: Motlop Curnow Silvagni
with Cottrell on the bench as the seventh forward and Docherty moving between wing and half forward.
Obviously, with Jack's tragic injury, there's an opening for another forward, but did I get the structure and personnel right?
We're going to go with two rucks and De Koning is going to spend time forward both to spell Charlie and Harry and to play as a third tall. Do we need a like for like replacement for Silvagni or can we cover the third tall role with a combination of De Koning and medium forwards like Martin?
My post-Silvagni ACL forward line is:
HF: Martin McKay Cottrell
F: Motlop Curnow Owies
with Docherty and De Koning as part time forwards and other midfielders resting forward from time to time. I'm not entirely sure who to have on the bench as the seventh forward but I'll go with Cuningham.
