So that would be Crouch Douglas and Ellis-Yolmen and Jenkins missing from our 22.
Think Crouch will come in for wright when ready, and first in last out for Lyons and Grigg. Not sure if we can play Kelly and Cheney, both the 3rd tall, With Lever and Talia the KPP.
Henderson is fighting with Laird and Jeansch I reckon. Brown is the small lock down defender, where as Laird and Jeansch are creators of half back with Smith dropping back depending on the mid rotation.
We cant play Talia, Lever, Cheney, Kelly, Henderson, Laird, Jaensch, Brown and Smith in the same team. Too much defence.
They highlighted (while lining up in the back 6) are not defenders as such. Brodie Smith has been playing off a wing and Henderson, Laird, Jaensch are all attacking half backs. You only have two or three genuine "defenders" in a side (Talia, Cheney, Lever and Hartigan if playing) and the rest are there to create your run out of half back. There is a good balance there of defence and attack
