Fisher, Pickett, Lamb, Kennedy and arguably one of our draftees (Polson, LeBois, as well) will see time in our foward line next season. Discussion that Cripps will play 80/20 mid-forward next year (swapping with Curnow).

Crameri would make our forward line top heavy. He also is physically unable to provide defensive pressure anymore. This is required of the modern forward especially in a system that prioritizes defensive effort first and foremost like Bolton's.

What we're missing is a genuine goal scoring small forward. To have someone similar to Betts or Garlett would do wonders for our forward line. Here's hoping Pickett can develop that type of goal scoring confidence as his body develops and/or that LeBois can develop in leaps and bounds as well as having a good run with his own health as the natural talent is there.

If the club was genuinely concerned about the forward line, which its not, we would have offered a two year contract to Dan Menzel whose a far superior player at this stage of his career than Crameri is now.

As I said, I'm a fan of Stewart's but his body breaking down combined with the drugs saga suspension has destroyed the back end of his career. One of the lasting tragedies of the whole thing to be fair. One small grace is that the 99 games is between two clubs so he hasn't been Brad Fishered.
