I like the idea of King further up the ground like centre half forward.
It is tempting to be lazy and wait for the ball to come to you at full forward.
But when it does come to full forward you want to be competing aggressively that is what Caminiti brings.
King further away from goals would provide an alternative tall marking target for inside 50s not just bombing to the goal square.
At centre half forward King would probably cop the oppositions number 2 tall back.
Membrey would enjoy being number 3 marking target and the freedom to roam further up the ground.
The same would apply to Owens.
That's 4 marking targets but some time in the game it would only be 3.

Then we need smalls at their feet Gresham, Butler and Higgins
As Eddie Betts said, some sides have a specialist defender who can shut down a small forward but if you have more than one quality small forward he can't shut them both down.
One will get off the chain while the other is stifled.

So my forwards are Caminti, King, Membrey, Owens Gresham, Butler and Higgins
With Hill and Wood on the wings and Sinclair charging through the centre with plenty of options, the opposition will be slaughtered if the 4 marking targets maintain separation.
