What we need is a leader in the forward line, the go to man. The Hawks had a problem when they had Buddy in that they became a bit one dimensional. His leaving opened up the options and opportunities, however Roughhead has been their main man since he left. We need a team approach to our forward structure but we also need a leader. My biggest criticism on Waite and Henderson was that neither had the character to be the leader. They both were happy to be the second banana and that is why they will be happy in their new clubs.
Yes, we desperately need someone to take charge of the forward line (another reason why we should have worked harder to keep Betts). I'm not convinced that we need a specialist full forward. Blokes who can play their role in the forward structure will get the job done but they'll do better if there's someone to ensure that they are sticking to the plan. Perhaps that will be Walker's role.
