Hey but how bad was Masten turned the ball over again and again we need some more class in the middle not sure who we can getWhat the ****? We can rely on Jetta and Redden in big games? Get lost.
Rosa was good today. Should have started.
Well a change of scenery may help but we need something in the middle. But no trading Darling that is terrible idea. I just said hes a good third forward and not a key forward. Saying that we had 18 passengers out there today soStopped reading at trade out Darling. I mean really, come on mate. Have you seen him play this year
Yep Jetta really preformed in his last big game. 7 of the best touches I've ever seen...
Agreed, what shits me with Darling is when he wrestles he is not a bulking key forward he needs to use this height, pace and agility e.g GunstonFORWARD ffs
He's a forward.
He's not as good as Mackenzie, but he's a hell of a lot better than Darling.
Darling needs a rocket and needs to change his game. Compare him to Gunston - that's the role he should be playing - an agile, flexible 3rd tall. Darling is currently playing like a tiny Quinten Lynch, his ground level game is non existent but he's getting smashed in one-on-one marking contests by guys who are midfielder height.
Gov forward, Darling to stop pretending to be a CHF, lose some bulk, and work on your agility.
TL;DR: Moving McGovern forward hurts our backline significantly, and I'm not sure it really improves our forward line all that much.
He is a natural key forward with massive goal scoring potential. Emac is a general down back and can lock down an entire forward line.
Few players I've seen read the flight of the ball as well as McLovin.
Love him in the fwd line.
I don't dispute that he could be a good key forward, but he's pretty natural as a backman. To date he's shown a lot more down back, but people seem to be flippantly deciding to move an AA calibre defender forward based on what, a couple of junk time goals in a Grand Final?He is a natural key forward with massive goal scoring potential.

Is the sub rule still in for next season?I don't dispute that he could be a good key forward, but he's pretty natural as a backman.

Emac is a completely different player. Mackenzie beats quality opponents but doesn't have the same ability to exert influence over the entire defence because his strength isn't intercept play or, to borrow a term from basketball, "help defence". He can lock down a man very well, but not a forward line.
McGovern was our best and most important defender before he was injured. EMac isn't a like for like swap, and he's coming off an ACL tear.
Would like to hear how we'd play four talls in our forward line too.
