If that was going to work then it should be implemented immediately. It was just the nature of the total capitulation. It seemed they just did not want to be there. Even with injuries (and Geelong have there own) that team had enough ability to play a lot better. But Dimma showed there is hope. A clean out of coaching staff and getting the right people there to backfill against his shortcomings as a coach saw the Tigers win a flag.
I don’t have a strong view myself but have seen someone else suggest Heeney, and one other suggest Parker into JPK (like Gray into Wines).
On the basis that Heeney may play a bit more forward with Buddy still out, and that Jacobs seemed to avoid going forward with Gray (based on what I read), the risk might be somewhat lower than it otherwise would be.
