I think McGregor is one of the most important talls to have in our team. He's the only one of them that is a genuine CHB and can be used in the ruck, if we decide to just go with Dabrowski.
My opinion on the talls:
Passador - in form, has to be picked, prefer full forward, but can play the floating forward role.
Schwarze - when in form, a very good full forward, but not suited to anywhere else on the ground.
Hentschel - best as a floating forward within 50, could be used in defence.
Salter - exactly the same as Hentschel. Has been used in the midfield - but can only be in short bursts.
Grocke - when in form, our best leading CHF. Provides the crucial avenue to goal and contest needed none of the others give.
Hier - A good solid full back, but not yet back to the form he showed when he started a couple of years ago.
McGregor - A good solid CHB and allows us to use McKenzie in the midfield. Can also ruck and play deep forward.
As Fuller mentioned in his coaches comments, a balance in the forward line needs to be struck. That may be at the expense of a big name player. And another one of those may need to play a team game down back to help McGregor and Hier.
. I know Collins would much rather be facing the dilemma of which one to keep out rather than not have enough to choose from.
