VFL Rd22 Sandy vs Cats (reserves vsCoburg Sun TBBO- Reports

[PJ]

Just a couple of questions

How is Walsh with overhead and pack marks?

Does our team, currently, have anyone other than Ben, Kosi and Roo that compete well in the air?

As to three tall forwards getting in each others way, you have a short memory Plugger66. We had a very successful forward line when it was Gehrig, Kosi and Roo.

How often did we have Gehrig , Kosi and Roo play in the fwd line TOGETHER? They never did. Hamill played as the third tall and complemented the other two fwds perfectly b/c his fwd pressure was before it's time. Kosi drifted fwd from the ruck occasionally, but was injured more often than not.

THree talls in the fwd line One of them at least would have to be incredibly mobile like Hamill was. If Walsh was to play it would have to be at the expense of Kosi or Roo is he gets injured. Gotta agree with Plugger on this one.

THe last time we tried it was this game, round 3 of 2008 vs the Western Bulldogs.

Western Bulldogs...1.2...6.6...11.9...19.11...125
St Kilda Saints.......7.3...9.6...10.8...13.9....87

It worked for one quarter, when we got off to a flyer. After that game the G-train only played 3 more and the comeback was aborted.

You're right. If it didn't work in round 3, 2008, when Gehrig wasn't going well and was being played out of position (they had him camped in the pocket, with little room to lead into) it can never work again.
Despite Collingwood (Dawes, Cloke, Leigh Brown- all big and heavy) and West Coast (Kennedy, Lynch and Darling, with Cox or Natanui resting forward regularly), for instance, proving differently in the past 12 months.
