Sprints in a game

Bradley Hill (Frem) 35.3

Tom Scully (GWS) 32.9

Jeff Garlett (Melb) 26.9

Jeremy Cameron (GWS) 26.6

Steven Motlop (Geel) 26.1

Our purported issues with outside run could be solved if we move him up the ground, this would mean we have to play Hannan or Kennedy or whoever fits the bill deeper forward. I know robbing peter to pay paul here, but if we're desperate for outside run then we could turn him into a Bradley Hill over the summer with a training regiment that brings him up to 30-35 pg

Additional idea: If we get Motlop who's 5th, we can have them alternating as wingmen/outside mids and goalsneaks, if Motlops salary was not too big to get him to the club.

Give him a run in the centre at times.

Garlett is valuable defensively forward, but is it overkill? Defenders arent that fast, there are other players who can immediatly apply pressure for an i50 turnover, if we did have Jeffy up the ground

I don't mind when they throw him in the middle as it creates a different dynamic, but he doesn't exactly win break away clearances on the regular. He's our best small forward by a mile so I'd rather see him stay as a forward.

I was happy to see him in the middle as well as Jessie.

It gets them into touch. As a person who grew up with positional play 

I dont understand how Jeff ends up with one or two tall defenders as a forward or how we look forward and the forward line is vacant?

 

 

Jeff would really have to make a jump in fitness if he were to spend more time further up the ground. He might be great at repeat sprints but thats over a shorter period most of the time in forward 50. I've watched him with hands on knees a lot throughout the season after chasing backs and going on longer runs to push forward. I think playing him through the middle when the team needs some speed and spark in short bursts is great but his position is forward creating pressure deeper on opposition defenders to create opportunities. There aren't many small forwards like him.

Love watching Jeffey get the pill and take off towards the goal. he is amazing to watch.
