The moment you put a smaller bloke on any of them, thats the moment that player gets an advantage. Is it enough to win us a game? Depends what our mids can do and how good our delivery is. But put simply, Casboult will be a better player if he has McKay in the side with him.
You don't need a tall to take Casboult, that is another flaw in the logic, he's easily manhandled and out-bodied by medium defenders. Harass him, take away his run, and he's finished.
Secondly, even on his good day he's probably got to get twice as much footy as the others, to have just half the amount of impact.
If you want to sacrifice McKay to be a patsy for Casboult, you may as well replace Casboult with Kerr or Silvagni.
Let's face it, Charlie is the man now, for us and for the opposition.
