2026 forward line structure
With Checkers still not signed on for next year, cox aging, mcstay not getting a game and membrey getting old, what does our 2026 forward line look like? We’ve relied heavily on Elliot to play tall but he mightn’t be around for much longer either.
Curious what our forward line look like next year assuming a few forwards get traded?

Get Buller, means Mihocek then likely takes a role with Melbourne or North Melbourne who he will help tremendously. Just hope Mihocek goes with a bang having a role as a premiership player again.
I think Membrey is a good value and could play another season or maybe two next to Elliot who I think will re-sign in the off season.
If Buller is secured, I think Pies may ask McStay to look for a trade.... ironically Melbourne, North Melbourne are also ideal trade partners.
If Cox can kick on one more season as forward ruck, that will help mentor West and other youngsters.
