Rapt in the 'ins': Tyrone to stand up and 'stretch' the undersized Hawks whilst Big Griif to get the job on 'Roughy'. Miller can start preparing for life as a member of the coaching panel by mentoring the youngsters at Coburg. Win, Win and Win if you ask me.
dont get this post why do you think the hawks are undersized. even with tyrone and griffiths both forward they have a spare tall.
One defender (who isn't much chop) at 193cm .....and the others hovering around 189cm......although it may backfire if this rain keeps falling.
lol gilham a premiership fb 192, birchall a defensive running back at 193, schoenmakers a 21 yr old 193 chb,
gibson a 189 athletic third tall capable of playing kp. stratton another 189cm player in the same mould as gibson. we go with just riewoldt and vickery who are both taller but out numbered 2 to one.
the hawks arent short down back they are the opposite.
if anyone is short down back its us. thank Geez they had enough sense to bring in at least one tall defender whos really a forward to help rance.lets hope he stays when grimes gets back. god knows what we would have done if bailey was fit and they played hale forwad in the role they recruited him for.
there is no room for error and there is no flexability and we are asking blokes too often to punch out of their weight division.
I was referring to the fact that the 'in': Vickery, and after relection 'Griffiths' as well, will stretch them as they dont have a 'monster' backman. If Tyrone kicks a few and we win I suppose my point may be proven....if not,well...........
dont we expect our key forwards to kick two or three every week. depending on what else vickery does work rate presenting bullocking for team mates chasing tackling 3 goals could well be a failure ffs miller was getting two a game or there abouts.
can you really see griffiths playing forward with jack and vickery leaving just one genuine tall defender in rance that would be madness. if we wanted to stretch them or have good flexability we needed to pick another tall probably post who can swing forward and back.
win lose or draw i really dont agree with the current structure. 5 genuine talls is really pushing the limits and opens a real can of worms if injury happens or someone gets of the leash and starts cutting us up.
the way we structure up there is an almost total reliance on mid field domination and when that doesnt happen we get burnt. its cost us games but noone wants admit it.
