Petrie - Aaron black - robtarrent.
Looked effective.
If we play mcbean or Griffiths we could replicate this
The everyone in the back 50 and run out is also good and worth using
ive been going on about this sort of structure for yrs. north regularly went with hansen tarrant and petrie forward last yr its nothing new. its not just up forward but down back as well, hansen firrito grima thompson all big bodied and all 190cm plus.and most sides actually structure like this on a regular basis.
at richmond we think we can get away with just riewoldt and vickery as tall forwards and to top the stupidity off we then ask vickery to spend significant time in the ruck what the hell happens to structure when he does go there.
for us and ive said this numerous times an ideal set up with the players we have would be
morris shut down on the smalls - chaplin if we had a bloke like frawley you would play chaplin at chb. - grimes third tall option he needs to get more ball than he does if hes to be a third option
mcintosh a tall accountable running defender with good skills we dont have one we need him to develop - rance who i think we must do better than at chb but hes the only option we have atm - dea/batchelor. i have a lot of time for matt dea i reckon he just needs regular opportunity. jake batchelor actually playing on a bloke his own size geez.
rance chaplin grimes and mcintosh are all 190cm plus. they all move well for big men.
up forward ive regularly pushed for one of elton astbury or griffiths to play kp with jack the other kp and vickery in a pocket as the second ruckman.to be honest i still have huge concerns about vickery.
id even go as far as to play a second ruckman off the bench as long as he was very mobile and agile.
structure has been lousy all yr and we play too many who cant make a decent decision under pressure or butcher the ball under pressure.we also imo lack two big hard at it mids who can extract the ball.
to finish if people think 3 talls back and forward an anomaly and cant work go look at last yrs gf.
hawthorn , gunston roughead, franklin with hale regularly going down there.
sydney , actually went lrt, goodes, reid and pyke like hale regularly rested forward.
