Anyway, the line up as shown is about our "forward 6" - they surely will be rotated through different roles throughout the game rather than play in one fixed position.
There's still only one key forward in that forward six and we won't kick a competitive score if we have to rely on Casboult, Kreuzer, Phillips, Rowe, etc to share the duties. Playing White, Walker or Everitt as a key forward would give Richmond an advantage.
I fear that we may go with an underdone Jaksch, an underdeveloped Curnow or an underwhelming Jones 
Of course, Thomas isn't available for round 1 but I don't think his replacement will weaken the side.

ALL of our forwards spend 90% of the game running to and from our backline, generally behind the ball as well.
We have no stay at home forwards anymore.
It's going to be very interesting to see how it changes due to the limited rotations, defenders also won't be able to run up and down like they have in the past.
It's not so much resting it's more about making extra rotations available for certain mids while reducing your own run. I think it's only available as an option to marking talls who demand a defenders attention, they will be able to reduce their running for a period while we try to lock the ball inside F50 with small medium sized players rotating. Of course you must win the midfield to implement this strategy.
Expect more zones in 2016 and less man on man.

It will all obviously come down to how BB structures for the game, and the rotations and the tactics he employs. It's his challenge to optimise our approach based on the personnel available. High, dumb bombs into F50 will not work as they play to one of our major current weaknesses. He has to make sure we are a lot more creative and less predictable, based on the personnel ready and available for the game and their respective strengths. I'll be very interested to see how we approach it.
Reality always wins in the end.

Gees I'd like to beat these over rated hicks but I'm a realist... I'd take a competitive effort where we kick more than 13 goals and keep them under 18.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Expect the continued overlap and free player availability other teams seem get when they play us.
Zones are great when EVERYONE is on the same page.

It was pretty apparent we weren't against the Swans - in fact we looked all at sea at times. I guess we have to persevere though if we want to master it.

Murphy for spurts and when they new guys start to lose their way (which will likely be often to begin with) We need a small bloke in the fwd line that can draw a free kick, Murph is quite good at it. About time we start exploiting goals from frees like other teams do to us.

Fair point. Start watching tapes of Lindsay Thomas.

We are Carlton, we don't get free kicks!
