I reckon the closest thing we have to replace Jack Silvagni and his style as a forward is actually Patty Cripps, but he'll be used in the midfield.
So next best is the poor mans Patty Cripps - Matt Kennedy. He is kinda getting squeezed out of the midfield, so needs another string to his bow, and that is as a forward. He's played there as a junior. He played there before. He kicked 3 goals on debut. He is a good mark, obviously good once the ball hits the deck and doesn't mind contact. He'd be 'my guy' to take over from Jack.
Of course the added benefit is he could swap with Cripps in the middle if/when required as well.
For mine....
HF - Martin - Charlie - Owies
FF - Motlop - McKay - Kennedy
I'd have both Cottrell and Cuningham on the bench as forward/mid options.
