I don't really rate McKernan either, but I rate him as a forward higher than I do Steinberg as a back.Dont rate mckernan as highly as you obviously. Daniher mckernan fwd line combo wouldnt be great
Bout same I spose. Steinberg was always a good vfl player much like mckernan showed this seasonI don't really rate McKernan either, but I rate him as a forward higher than I do Steinberg as a back.
Steinberg out, Hooker back, McKernan forward in Daniher's place, Daniher into Hooker's place.
Disagree. He's shown he can mark on the lead as well in pack situations and has shown quite a bit at ground level. Just about the ideal key forward to play with Daniher, Langford and Laverde because he demands so much attention from the opposition and is a far, far better get out of jail long bomb option because he has the strength and will to compete.
If he doesn't play forward last night we fall down at half forward and lose by 7-8 goals IMO.
Hooker has got votes in 3 out of 4 games as a forward - Some want to replace him with Mckernan - It's obvious who is the weak link in the forward line.
With Carlisle out, Hooker forward was the obvious choice and it's paying dividends. Hooker, JD and the L's are a good setup. Ballsy to play our AA CHB forward but the forward line is finally functioning. When Carlisle comes back he needs to continue Hookers good work.
Really? That's really interesting. Might explain why his body language is better than Jakes up forward. Just need to fix up his set shots although he does seem to be using that same routine.Drafted as a fwd
And played half his first year as a forward at vfl level before he was switched to defence.Really? That's really interesting. Might explain why his body language is better than Jakes up forward. Just need to fix up his set shots although he does seem to be using that same routine.
Having three 190cm + blokes that can dominate at either end of the ground is pretty special. He could be that positional change that allows Carlisle to stay.
It's a fair mark of just how far he's come that to ask whether he's the best player at the club is not at all a stretch.
Not saying he definitely is, by the way, but by jove he's in those calculations.
Wasn't Carlisle drafted as a forward as well?Really? That's really interesting. Might explain why his body language is better than Jakes up forward. Just need to fix up his set shots although he does seem to be using that same routine.

Was saying the exact same thing watching the game on Saturday. Always fights like hell at each contest. Carlisle often looks as though he gives up in contests if out of position.The thing with Hooker is he fights for the ball if out of position. A fair few of his marks have been taken when the kick is not to his advantage.
If Carlisle is forward and if he doesn't have best position then the ball is pretty much gone.
Love watching this guy play.
He was drafted as "a player that could forward and back" from what I recall. It is now obvious what his preference isWasn't Carlisle drafted as a forward as well?
I thought the same thing.Wasn't Carlisle drafted as a forward as well?
It's awesome to see, even the commentators were picking it up and couldn't believe the second efforts he was putting in. It reminds me why our forward pressure was so awesome in 2013 with Kommer running around like a maniac.Was saying the exact same thing watching the game on Saturday.

I think he plays forward when Carlisle returns. Who would have thought 18 months ago that Hooker forward with Hurley and Carlisle back would be our best set-up???
