Grand final winning:

Franklin 196cm hff flanker thats how he plays. is as quick agile and tackles as well as most medium sized players if not netter. they lose nothing with his height this is what makes him special.
Roughed 193cm power fwd
Gunston 193  88kg third tall  who this yr has had to play in the key post great on the lead and hits up very well.
Hale played of the interchange  and ruck and rests fwd at times. giving buddy and roughead a break.
Bailey  played as a ruckman and went for as long as he could before being subbed out of most games.
they played 3 tall fwds and two ruckmen
you propose we play one tallfwd riewoldt at 195cm and whos slow   3 ruck/fwds at 200cm and 1 ruckman in ivan. lol it is dramatically a different set up to hawthorns,




I am fairly sure there were times four of them were in the same forward line

Agree Doc. That goal on the run to burn off his opponent then at full pace banana it through was sublime. This kid has skill and can play. That was not easy given his size. Consistency will come from confidence and knowing he can play the game at this level given he can do stuff like that. :thumbsup

7 very tantalizing touches.  :lol

Looked extremely lazy at times. Refuses to chase his opponent out of our forwardline. No tackles again today.

We have a guy in the twos who has more ability but lacks a defensive side to his game.   :whistle

Is clearly improving and gaining confidence. Was very good today, stats don't paint a true picture. does things most big guys can't, 20-30 more games and he'll be setting the league alight.

Griffo has to stay at CHF. We throw Ty into a forward pocket as a decoy tall. Griffo then has 2 great options to kick to. How simple is that guys?

We have a great long kick in our side who can hit a long or short target.

With Ty or Jack providing to great options on the goal line for Griffo to kick to we will be able to exploit Sydney's defence and create many a goal through these avenues. If these options are not there then we have players streaming forward to create goals but have the targets in key spots on the field as back up options.

C'mon Hardwick you need to play these 3 talls up forward with this type of structure...

We will blitz them this way with Lids and Martin roaming to crumb.

Agree. Hoping he can expose Sydney's weakness in Ruck division when goes in to relieve Maric during game.

He laid a massive tackle at a stoppage. Buried the guy in the turf
