Ok was just wondering considering most footballers who have that build, that speed, that kicking ability usually play on ball or even off a wing where they work hard to get their possessions.....and if anything they move to half-back late in their career to ease up on the physical pressures on their body....

Joel should never have been on Robertson. Wallace made a big boo-boo with the match-ups. It worked in the first quarter because the Melbourne forwards were pushing too far up the field and in Daniher's own words were chasing after "bludgers" kicks. This still allowed Bowden to play his normal run-off game without getting hurt on the rebound. Once the Demon forwards in the second quarter remained closer to goal then Joel had to either play tight on Robertson and we lose his rebounding or he plays loose and we get killed on counter. Chubba should have played on Robertson and if need be Sarge could have been pushed into defence if we needed another tall in the backline with Richo remaining up forward surrounded by smalls.
