Actually, that might work Eth, we can throw in a tall dummy ruck and have Sylv' come over the Top.

184cm

Could be worse - he could be 192 cms.

 

Matthew Bate and Dunn say hi. Both 192

Matthew Scarlett and Darren Glass say hi. Both 192

Did you see Tarrant monster the smaller Brad Green last week??

We need our key position players to have key position size if we are to compete at the top of the ladder. Col is a midfielder/flanker and a good one at that.

Spot on. Although, i would still see Col pushing forward to create another option on occasions when it fits into the team plan/structure/match ups etc. Can play tall, and throws another dimension into our forward options, creating another headache for the opposition to try and cover with a tallish/quality defender rather than just a 'run with' option if he didn't push forward at all. Not to mention the scoreboard pressure :)

Rather see Gawn, Martin, Rush & Watts through here most of the time

If they had video and a MRP in Whitten's day, he would be lucky to play more than a handful of games each year!!!

Yes, the game has changed.

I would add Howe to that list as well.

Coll plays his best up forward as a "surprise arrival" that is when he suddenly appears from a flank; I wouldn't set him as a KPP, assuming that in some way set positions exist in today's game.

i think you mean, sylvia resting in the forward line and playing through the midfield? why would you want to remove nearly our best midfielder from the midfield? i want the ball in his hands as much as possible, and that involves him playing in the guts. But no doubt he can rest up forwards, and that you state the game hasnt changed, ridiculous!

In reference to Tarrant "monstering" green, on most occasions it happened because of the crap delivery to him, where he was 2 metres in front and the ball was put on his head, leading him to stop and then Tarrant came in.

You can still have smaller, lead up players providing the job as a CHF. Especially considering most players play as a generic forward, not in positions like they used to.

We have no real big targets, just a lot of smaller lead up attacking players.


It's irrelevant. We play a mobile forward structure. He gets his turn, but to think Sylvia would play the whole game there just dosen't work any more. The best key forwards tend to go both high up the ground and deep into the square.

Its about match ups and throughing the other team off balance.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.
