Crouch, Ross, Gresham, Billings etc all handy but not at the same level as our group Imho.
The inclusion of Bradley Hill is my biggest concern.
I look at their wings, and I see it as a position of strength. I look at ours, and I see Lachie O'Brien, Newnes and Cotters. Whilst it is growing on me and the confidence in it is improving, they have a bonafide jet on the opposite wing, and he knows how to play smart footy.
Obrien, Newnes and Cottrell after being quiet vs the Pies and Tigers have been in decent form in the past couple of games,. have actually given LOB votes in his last two games?which thought I would never do. I could see Cottrell picking up Hill and tagging him given he has good endurance and leg speed.
We will only get into trouble if we leave players on their own like Hill like we did with Sidebottom but I reckon Voss wont allow that to happen again...
