Acres is a winger, you play him at the coalface for any length of time he will be injured, Cerra the same and he isnt a bash and crash inside mid either. Docherty is another who needs looking after and more suited to a wing and Cincotta is a utility who you can run through the middle as a tagger or relief mid but you wouldnt want to rely on him fulltime vs quality opposition midfields.

Well, we may as well just hand the keys back now and save the embarrassment of another spoon  ::)
Im not saying you need 5-6 enormous mids as we all know the game is different and the small ball midfield lineups are popular all be it not proven over the long term but only having two specialist inside mids has exposed a gap if we were to lose one now that we have moved Kennedy on and lost E. Hollands. We have numerous wingers and small forwards but a dearth in certain areas thats all Im saying...

FYI, Jack Carroll is now at St. Kilda.

We delisted and rerecruited Matt Carroll who is named as an emergency.

Vossy being interviewed now saying that defense is what we need to work on the most and that its been an issue for a couple years now.

......so why do we keep recruiting small forwards and ignoring the defence?!

Probably because, as yet, we've not unearthed a really dangerous small forward? Still an issue for our forward line. Who of our small forwards could walk into any top 6 side?

And when Vossy refers to defence I suspect he's referring to 'team' defence.

Yeah, nah.

Was talking about setting up down back and getting that right and going from there.
Was plenty of talk about team defence and all that too, but i think it was off the back of talking about Silvagni being switched to a defender as well.

...and call me old fashioned, but if you want to improve your defence, start with your defenders and work your way up the ground from there!
Yes, small forwards can do there bit for defence, but when you start 6-6-6 and you wanna focus on defence, there is SFA your small forward can help you with at that point.
