That was just off the top of my head
I ccan't spell mcglenn so i left him out
In general - the non kpp forward half pressure at Sydneyiis top shelf
Unlike that currently surrounding jack, Griff, Vickery and one day mcbean
Similar to freo with Walters types. As opposed to Newman's and griggs
Hence if Griff was at a top club his development would not follow an identical track
I like your posts Judge but you are too simplistic with your anti-Newman,Grigg, Thomas poo.
You are now blaming them for our forward line woes. At least have a crack at Flash and Shedwards here.
Our guns like Cotch and Dust let us down massively in the elim. Take Newman and Grigg out of that team and replace them with decent players and we still would have been pansed. Stop playing them for everything.
gotta agree and what a tangent. why not mention the snl/med fwds if we are having a discusion aboput protection for the tall fwds and our ability to defend in the fwd half. newman thomas and grigg have nothing to do with it.
those mids best equipped to help out are deledio, martin ellis and they are lousy defensively to go with a few others.ffs deledio and martin spend plenty of time fwd.
one thing for suure we dont have a rioli who is much maligned but would be the best sml fwd in the comp when it comes to tackles and pressure.
our talls are 200cm and slow or both our sml/med fwds just dont defend or work both ways and for the role are slow. yet judge blames newman thomas and grigg. an inside mid expected to win and dish the ball out in thomas who should not be expected to continuously go both ways and do his job , a defender newman and ffs our latest run with player in the midfield grigg who actually has had to be accountable to a player. weather hes done a godd job or not is another debate altogether.
finally ive posted up twice now what i would consider a high quality tall fwd set with plenty of pace and agility and not one person has made comment on it. the only conclusion i can come to with thats is people think we have a good enough tall fwd set up or they just dont want to acknowledge what needs to be done.
for the life of me who would not be over the moon with a tall fwd set up of riewoldt lamb and mccartin with griffiths or mcbean as a ruck/fwd. that is the sort of tall fwd set up we need to aspire to to get on level terms with a lot of clubs quality wise and be able to defend adequately in the back half.. yet deathly silence.
