When players are missing such as Motlop and Cottrell you have to find a replacement.
The replacement will rarely be as good for a few reasons.
1) They're behind the missing player in the pecking order to start with.
2) They won't exactly be able to perform the same role, due to ability and physical differences.
3) Players missing throw an extra burden not just on the replacement, but also on better players who won't necessarily provide the same support to the fill-in. Everyone's roles and responsibilities are impacted.
Fantasia is obviously the best we have for the task at hand at present (His assigned role)
When he's not, and others become available, he'll be out of the side.
We have little idea what tasks he's given each week.
It's fine looking for someone else but there would be reasons, probably good ones, why Fantasia is getting a game ahead of others.
There may be couple of lads in the VFL who could be given a run but maybe for reasons of development they're being brought along at a more steady pace.
But as MBB said, we're going pretty well at present.
Keep it stable...and wait for the reinforcements
