Very true! The Geelong game at Simmonds earlier this year for example... He's just a colossus.

He needs some assistance though, and there's only so much you can make out of 'hit-and-hope' forward entries. A fitter midfield that can be more effective on the counter attack would help. Having another viable tall target and some crumbing goal sneaks would help too..

I agree, which is why I highlighted the whole forward line is lacking.

We have a garbage midfield, it's no secret, yet we aren't doing too bad at getting it forward in quite a few games, which tells me we're getting things somewhat right, we just don't have the cattle to get it right and do it extremely well.

Releasing the shackles or whatever this thread is about is absurd. What, they're suddenly all going to run forward of the ball and get hit by lace-out passes and start slotting goals on the run against a Ross Lyon coached Freo to entertain us fans as a going away present? Oh how my belly laughs.

Agree, they can realease the shackles next Monday.

I'd prefer to see them release the shekels during trade week...after which will come the cricket season, in which case they can release the bats.
