Disagree with much of that. Our midfield is a far bigger problem than the forward line...

Fix the midfield, the forward lines all but fixes itself...we're two to three quality mids short.

And Kreuzer, for all his good form, really struggles against the new swathe of rucks considerably taller than him .

put the Crows front 6 in with the way we moved the ball last Sunday after quarter time, we'd score much the same....f... all.

We have a former AFLCA MVP winner in Murphy. He goes ok.
Gibbs, for all the flack he gets, is still an a-grade mid, not A+, but A.
Cripps is breaking all the records for clearances and contested possessions for games played and if he isn't there now, will certainly be an elite mid soon enough.
Kreuzer would be amongst the top 6 in terms of ruck output this season.

There is your starting midfield. Not too much to complain about there.
From there it does drop away, E. Curnow, Graham...etc

However, our forwardline....
Is anyone there considered elite? No.
Is anyone there considered a-grade? No.
Is anyone there considered b-grade? Questionable. Plenty of potential...but nothing guaranteed.

....before anyone says Weitering, he is a gun player, but is not a gun forward by any stretch of the imagination.

In short, our forwardline needs more attention than the midfield.
