195 Weitering?
192 Kemp?
191 McGovern?
202 Young?
Cox can do 2 things quite well.....mark and kick straight. He's not an instinctive footballer. Young spoils well. Neither are great ruckmen. By having Young 'tag' Cox you cover your lack of height down back AND your second ruck dilemma. TDK plays better as top dog and Pittonet's lack of speed will be shown up against the Pies. Play McGovern up forward as your second tall target.
Don't mind McGovern going forward as I think we just can't leave Charlie as the only tall marking option.
