Yes, because that is obviously the choice Neeld was making.

Grunt > Long accurate kicking or good ball carry

What was his choice in your imo if not between higher skill vs ball winning ability?

The account of Neelds decision making, IMO, was that he lent toward those with a harder or more aggressive edge than those he perceived to be slightly more talent while playing a slightly meaker style of footy.

I don't think that throws good ball carry or good long kicks out of the priorities of the club.

You have got to get the ball, before you can do anything with it.

And we struggle to get the ball...

It's hard to measure Neeld's overall player philosophy on one sentence in a newspaper article and I know some will point to the decisions made in recruiting this year, but it was a lean year draft wise and we did need to top up a bit with some ready made bodies.

As with all these things I think it will be player by player, position by position, year by year. It seems too one dimensional to me to say Neeld just likes hard bodied agreesion over talent.

You may have never said anything more accurate than that line rpfc.
