I would be very surprised if Jack doesn’t continue to spend time in the midfield. I guess it will depend on what’s happening with the forward line but I expect that a few of our forwards will rotate through the midfield.
Blokes with midfield time include Cripps, Murphy, E Curnow, Walsh, Setterfield, Kennedy, Gibbons, Martin, Fisher, Betts, Cuningham, Dow, O’Brien, Docherty, J Silvagni, Newnes, Simpson, Petrevski-Seton and Polson, and potential midfielders include Stocker, Kemp, Ramsay, Philp, Honey and Cottrell.
While there’s some talent and potential in that lot, there’s not a lot of size, strength or mongrel. We could be relying on youngsters to provide the midfield grunt to ease the load on Cripps. Even if they develop quickly, I would like to see another established mid in the mix.
Paul’s suggestion of McGovern providing midfield cameos could work well but, as with Jack, it would depend on what’s happening in the forward line.
