Looking back at it, I should have included that part of the article as a quote.  I hadn't even noticed your reply about Taylor when I posted my comment.  All good.

I don't think its in Hardwicks game plan to have any specific small forwards. This is why Morton choose to reinvent himself as a wingman who moves forward. Players such as Didak now spend as much time in the midfield as they do in the forwardline. Stay at home mid and small forwards are almost non-existant in todays game. Even Milne, spends an increasing percentages of time in the middle and around stoppages which was evident against Geelong.

Even Tall forwards rarely stay at home in the modern games which is more than clear every time they show a full shot of the ground.

What we need more than specialised small forwards is an array of midfielders who can run back into space, crumb and create options when the ball is moved forward.

Once again last night we got smashed by the small forward syndrome.

Next week Milne will take over from that finger pointing ugly idiot in Betts.

Newman was great last night but cant contain that small man. Not quick enough!! We seriously need to find someone for this role.

Any suggestions who that may be and i dont think its Farmer.

Troy Taylor
Troy is 189cm tall (6' 2"). He'll be more a HFFer/midsized forward.

it's great news Taylor got taller. At 192cm+ if is indeed that big he could be a weapon playing 3rd tall behind reiwoldt. Griffiths.

Macdonald I would love to see cut sick and kick 20 goals in first four round for coburg.

In all honesty this erks me more than anything, really it has done so for years. The small forwards win games against us all the time, have done so for years, since the Matera days and even before him. We have never had anyone to contain them. King, Newman, Farmer, Kellway boys....the list goes on.....We need to stop them and I am not sure we have the cattel to do it.


I wouldnt mind trying Conca, have him lead Milne up the ground a bit and hurt him on the rebound, just give him a go, what have we got to lose. Or maybe Batch, we need to try someone different though and not the same players we try every time. Hell, why not even give White a go!!

Thats been the thought process for the last 3 years.....King hasn't been able to near him, let alone take him out.
