Do we really need a player like Yarran? He is a medium-Tall forward when we need some small forwards.

He's tallish but is a quality ground level player, better than Hill.
I want forwards with strong contested games, which someone like Yarran doesn't have.
He was when we chose to retain him.

He was the second time we chose to draft him.

I'm sure the club wouldn't have ruled a line through Andrew Krakouer after his 2010 season with Swans.

Why get Lucas and play him up forward when we could, I dunno, just draft or trade for a forward?
What has Lucas ever shown to suggest that he would be an effective forward at AFL level?
And it is odd you compare him to Nicoski, who was highly skilled.
LOL, no he wasn't.

Nicoski was a highly skilled player.
Repeating it doesn't make it anymore accurate. Why do you think he was moved to the forward line? Because his kicking in defense kept turning into opposition goals.

Was moved to the forward line due to his injuries, I thought that was clear.
He was injured his entire career. He wasn't move their because he suddenly got injured. Its because his skills were ordinary.

Honestly bewildered that anybody would describe Nicoski as 'unskilled'. His kicking skills and clean hands (especially in 2011) were up there with the main features of his game.
Nah he was a terrible kick. Not many of our players from that era actually had good skills - but it wasn't needed like it is today.

Strongly disagree, but we'll leave it there. I very much enjoying this on a monthly basis!
I miss that Nicoski

Ever kicked 41 in a season?
LOL all your doing is proving my point. Nicoski's career looked finished at 70-80 games. He couldn't play defense anymore, he was too much of a liability with his kicking. Moving to the forward line saved his career. I can tell you are a young person because all you remember is his last year (2011).

He moved to the forward line due to injuries primarily, as I have already said. It's like a freakin' roundabout.

Why would he need to change positions due to injuries? Even if that were true, playing in defense is a lot safer than playing in the forward line - see Mitch Brown. You have no idea what you are talking about. How you even became a mod is a mystery to me.

I rarely agree with Masto but i'd agree that Nicoski's "whiplash" kicking style lacked much if any control, that's why he was moved off the half back line to begin with. 2011 was a flash in the pan season, proved how good he could be at his best.
