As to point 6, from accounts of Martin's poor form on the weekend and Cuningham still being an unknown quantity, it would mean that Fisher is the last man standing - more of the same old, same old.
Your post really shows the trouble we are in with such a poor list which is also not helped by two or three players permanently injured.
I don't think we have a poor list exactly.
I think we might have an unbalanced list....at least with injuries being the way they are.
If you pick your best players, from 1 to 22 (or 23) and then try and put them in positions you will get a different team than if you pick your 'best 22' (or 23).
The latter is required to play games.
The former is just a measure of talent.
We need to play games and win games, that's why we need to pick a side that is capable of doing so. If that means we can't play a 2nd ruckman, or we are forced to drop a Coleman medallist, then that's what we need to do.
Re small forwards...
Would you prefer we kept honey in? He was worse. Durdin and Motlop are not b AA forwards but they are the best we have, so not sure what other options we have.
