The 3 times we have been genuinely cut up this year in GWS, Essendon and Melbourne, all have offered 3 tall forward structures.
You can absolutely replace Hombsch with Trengove, Bertie.
Running with Clurey, Jonas and Hombsch robs us of genuine tall options, as Hombsch is and will forever play an intercept role over an accountable role. Austin's game on the weekend was a mistake from the coaches box, IMO. We were too slow to react to Hogan's early dominance, and once Austin was shifted onto Watts- we looked much more stable back there. The 2 knocks that Austin appeared to cop wouldn't have helped.
Trengove >> Austin. Trengove and Clurey as our spine with Jonas as that 3rd tall playing predominately accountable rather than intercept would sure us up even more defensively.
Now where to fit in our 9,642 half back flankers...
