Yep hes my preference but given how he played in the curtain raiser and considering how richmond have just won the flag with a team of speed merchants no way he lasts to 5.Stephenson.
If Melbourne said Pick 5 and 2018 1st rounder for Hogan..... has you answer changed in the past few hours?
Riewoldt played an OK game. Brought the ball to ground, halfed the contests he got to. Kicked a few goals. I feel like if Tabs keeping developing he could do that. Not the A grade forward but enough to give us a functioning forward line.
Get rid of this playing two slow ruck concept, the team will play better.Riewoldt didn't play the traditional KF role that say a Hawkins, JK or Hogan would and was quite clever in his involvement building pressure on the defenders by not only getting into dangerous positions but closing down space. He's a very smart player and very mobile. I don't think Tabs could ever fill that sort of role effectively but if McCarthy realises his potential, he could.
But could you imagine this board if we went into Rd 1 with McCarthy as our only tall forward?

We went into round 1 this year with McCarthy as our only tall forward.
Griffin ?We went into round 1 this year with McCarthy as our only tall forward.
Kersten?
Plus I'm pretty sure we had two rucks, one of which played forward at times.
Kersten is shorter than most of our midfielders, he's not really a tall forward in any sense.
Pretty sure there's only a cm between Kerstin and McCarthy and Kerstin is definitely a tall forward. I've never seen him described as anything else. We also had Griff forward at times so that's 2 with a 3rd at times.
You're clutching at straws and totally missing the point. Richmond played with only 1 tall forward today and that tall forward is McCarthy's height. They also didn't have a second ruck. My point stands.
Any team in an AFL Grand Final would have good leaders.I think they are important in finals, but more from a structural perspective rather than a "win it off their boot". IMO generally teams with leadership win finals; and leaders can be positioned anywhere on the field.
no. they won flags without him. Buddy is a freak anyway. He's like best player in the competition freaky who just happens to be really tall.Hawthorn didn't need Franklin ?

Thats fine we can just settle for rayner thenYep hes my preference but given how he played in the curtain raiser and considering how richmond have just won the flag with a team of speed merchants no way he lasts to 5.
Agree on coffield as the next option,also looks pretty darn good ,again tho could go early after that still a big fan of fogarty the darcy variety

What really got me about Richmond was they brought the same pressure & intensity Freo had in 2013 but they had players forward of the ball for the fast break always. We never do so we always have to hold it up.
As for the kids today I loved what I saw from Uniake.
