Tom Lynch wouldn't do you much good sitting in forward 50 catching a cold with the ball not getting down there. Bartel's point came across as if he was making it up on the spot which is why it was probably so poorly thought out.
Gaff / Dalhouse / Sloane / etc. are absolutely who we should be targeting. If you have more than 2 or 3 tall forwards you can't fit them all in your team and you can survive with only 1 - as Richmond have shown.
If you have 10+ midfielders you can definitely fit them in your team. We start a game with 3 guys carrying legitimate credentials as midfielders. The opposition have 13. That is where we're getting slaughtered and where we need so much more quality.
We are patiently waiting for the kids to mature and we will continue to do so but we need to load up from other clubs - in the midfield.
