The GF showed bigger bodies win finals and premierships as they can win their own ball and hold their ground under immense physical pressure to execute well. They can naturally throw their weight around being physical and tough. Our list all up contains too many small and lightweight players and I'm not talking about the young teenage cubs. For example re-signing both Nahas and Kingy for two more years is a poor decision.
-
Disagree with Kingy MT, Kingy holds his own in the physical stakes, he would embarrass a lot of bigger blokes in the strength stakes and his low centre of gravity makes him hard to tackle. Nahas is learning how to use his agility, granted he will never win a wrestle with Cameron Ling but he is always going to beat him for speed and agility and has to play to those strengths. Horses for courses man.
-
yep you need both players with strength and players with speed and agility.
-
The bonus with Kingy is he is fast and agile too

That's true but playing unfit blokes doens't help your cause no matter how big the bodies ;D
But certainly agree we need to make some tough decisions at the trade table in particular
Show some courage Tigers trade weel - we havent' for far too long if at all
-
I really hope they make some "tough" decisions during trade week.
The meltdown that happens on the forums a la grigg/collins is priceless.

I totally agree with you on the Big Bodies who can stand up in tackles and win collisions or contested marks. They must also be skillful users of the ball by hand and foot. We must recruit more heavy bodies and gees Im glad we didn't get Neil Craig as he doesn't get this fact. He lightened the Adelaide players and they ended up crap during finals as a result, twit. Melbourne stuffed up getting him.
Essendon under Knights also stuffed up here too, they must have been the most lightweight finals team in history under him.
Speed is not such a priority these days.
I disagree with King and Nahas, both have poven to be good small men who can tackle and apply pressure. Both are in our top 12 when fit. You could win a premiership with both of those players in the team, look at Stokes and Christensen or Burns and Stokes from a few years ago. But I doubt you could have a third small and any small must be a muscleman because they need to be able to not lose a physical contest, even if they dont win it. King has mastered the art of spoiling in the forward line against taller players, Nahas had bulked up significantly and should bulk more this pre season too if the fitness staff have any clue.

cant agree about speed not being a priority tidyman.
The important thing in football has and always will be to find or create space.
Some players use strength.
some use agility.
some use speed.
some players just use their class to create space with their disposal.
Ideally you have a mix of all (allowing that some players will use a combination)
I agree with the sentiments that to win finals you cant load up on light fleet footed players, but there will always be a place for a few.
