OShea bloody hell
Tall defenders Jones, Plowman, Weitering, Silvagni are all injured.
Macreadie has just played 70% game time in the 2's after a 10 week absence from footy, so he's underdone.
The cupboard is bare. Other than Tall forwards Kerr and levi, there are no tall defenders other than O'Shea.
Schumacher at 189 and skinny can't be expected to be ready to play tall post in the next level, he is too small for as a 3rd defensive tall, only recently starting showing good signs, and just learning the caper.
I'd like Schumacher to be given a taste this year, along with The King but in a position and against an opponent they would be more suited to.
Plenty of games left to introduce them.
Rowe and Marchbank in the key positions. Don't need O'Shea. Schumacher then could still come in.
