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

Ted whitten.

And dont tell me the game has changed. I wont buy it.

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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
