Conca would be "most improved" in the context of the thread, Cotchin is just flat out the best...

Next year, if we don't get Cloke and Griff is played at stuff out, if he is played back again forget it. He has a massive roost and is very tall, he also has good hands. Wasted down back for mine, play him where we recruited him to play. His Apprenticeship and learning in the backline how to be a forward has finished...

Not a dig before you get angry I'm genuinely curious. Why do you think Griff down back is a waste? I can't get my head around that train of thought

Like I said he is a massive kick and could kick goals from 50+ quite easily if played at CHF. He is better on the lead and tends to get caught behind a bit to often when playing down back. He is also very tall, crumbers can feed off him in our forwad line instead of our opponents like they do now in the back line. He would support Riewoldt very nicely as well. He is a forward, that is what he played his footy as until he came to us, that is what we recruited him for and thats where he should play IMO...but its only MO..

He also seems slow down back and is not agile or quick enough for the faster forwards.

Okay yeah you've made some good points. On the massive kick, I like it just as much from kick out as kicking goals. Yeah agree he would make a good CHF but personally I just believe he has the traits to be a good defender if he can get his head around it. I rekon he should play up forward except in maybe the case a resting ruckman is having a rest forward, our backs just seem to small for them

Totally agree, our backs are way too small, thats why I have been suggesting we recruit big backmen such as Merritt (trade, if possible) and another, Merritt is very mobile for his size and he gets to the contest quickly ..That would free Griff up to play forward...anyway.

That would work, remember we also have Vicks coming back, I really hope that guy has a breakout year too.

Hopefully a new draftee otherwise Vickery to help out and Jack and Grimes has a belter year as he is the glue in our backline,well superglue as he really takes our defense up a few notches when he is playing.

This year it has been Ivan Maric and Morris who have raced out of the gates.
If we get two more like them in the draft,I will be very happy.

P.S. forgot Reece Conca.Hope he really goes another step next year and Post and Griffiths improve more as well.

Can we claim The People's Mullet as our most improved?  Or does he have to have been here last year to qualify?
