David Armitage (183/80) - I don't reckon he's that great overhead, though he knows where to find the goals. Slightly bigger than Schneider, Milne, McQualter, but I just don't think he plays tall enough. Still could be worth a try.
Another name mentioned elsewhere is Ryan Gamble (184/78). It's strange that he's about the same height as Armo but seems like he plays much taller. Not a great shot at goal and seems like an inside 50 player, but could be in the mix I suppose. But I agree with those who've spoken about the "touch of mongrel" and I haven't seen that in him yet.
Another one mentioned elsewhere is Ben McKinley (184/85). He must play tall because I thought he was bigger than 184 (shorter than Lenny or Dal!). Kicked 30.27 and took 4.6 marks a game playing in the forward line. 18 tackles for the year is a problem, though, we'd need that to seriously change.
