If you have 5 forward, it means an extra mid or an extra back. The Cats had 56 I50's, and a number like that is an up-the-ground issue, the result of turnovers, lack of pressure etc. Not sure how an extra tall back would have been the difference between a win and a loss. Fix up our ball use, goal kicking, tackles that halt ball movement etc., and it's a whole other ball game IMO.
