lol so true
Many of the older high flyers would have had a field day in today's game, Snr, Modra, Capper, Barker. . . I would have loved to see Fremantle's defence drop back to try and contain those kind of jumpers who not only had the quickest first step in the history of the game but they didn't let a poor game get in the way of their confidence to fly for those high marks whereas today's forwards, they lose confidence early on in and then become completely redundant and any attempt to try and take a pack mark is suddenly out of the question.
Capper could be held quiet on the scoreboard for a half, 3 quarters but he'd still be jumping at everything that came his way and with today's rules and interpretations. . . blocking off the ball, chopping the arm, holding the jumper, he'd have slot 10 goals just as he says (maybe not 10 but more like 5)
