It's been 35 years of ordinary football and with some ordinary players after taking out a few rare and recent years. Those rare years like '95 and '01 we played attacking football. When we were a powerhouse we were fast with great bigmen. I think the Tigers are trying to be attacking again but are lacking one key ingredient. A big forward with presence for the mosquito fleet to feed off and to help free up Jack more. We just don't seem to pick them even though we try. Balme should know what I mean. He was one.
Yep, would like Jack Redpath right about now to hand out (hip out) a few solid bumps that make our smaller guys run around a bit more protected after the big fella has brought the ball down.
Elton just hasn't got that. He loses contests against small guys - not talking marking crashes, just body to body.
