Clearly, there is healthy competition for a lot of spots this year, even amongst the key forwards eg Charlie (a given), Levi, Kerr and Harry.
Can Charlie, Harry and Levi all play in the forward line?
Given Charlie's mobility and flexibiity he's essentially a giant ruck rover (think Kouta) and can play small (ish) for a high marking tall.
Essndon plat three tall in the forward half and they are the third highest scoring team in 2017 - with an AVERAGE MIDFIELD.
Havng three legitmate marking targets will surely make life easier for each of the three forwards as defenders can't focus on one solely....
It ain't rocket science!
Charlie / Harry / Levi can absolutely work. Especially if that means Curnow can spend more time up the ground to help us transition out of defense without robbing us of forward targets - and SOSOS can improve his marking.
Midfield of Kruezer, Cripps, Kennedy and Dow has got a completely different feel to what we ran with last year. Can't see us being second last again in clearances.
Murphy and Fisher on the wings.
My big hope for the year is that we keep Murphy away from any stoppage. You can't cover a guy who can't tackle - which our clearance numbers proved week in week out last year.
