Your point?
Getting fit includes playing reserve grade footy Mick.
Nick Smith plays a role no other player can at our club so once fit, match day fit, he walks straight in ahead of anyone else.
Same should go for Menzel.
If it's good for Adam Goodes............................
Daniel Menzel plays a role nobody at this footy club plays, he kicks goals. If you say it’s good for Menzel to play NEAFL, it’s damn well good for slow ol’ Nick to play there too!

So why are you posting that?
I actually think total fitness comes from playing games, reserves games, always have.

Good for you, I’ve always thought that fitness comes from training primarily and playing secondary. You put more time into training than you do on the park against opposition and the medical people will tell you, no matter what the activity, the level (grade) is irrelevant. It’s exercise!

Your argument is like saying all AFL footballers are fitter than WAFL, VFL or SANFL footballers? Is that true? No it is not, just like the country footballer up the street could be fitter than Mr AFL!

This is the thing though Masey.
I don't know any other player that could do this role. COR?
Having said that, if the game has evolving into less defence & more attacking play, then you are right, we must move on with the new 'loose' defender who coughs up a few goals but gets back some with attacking play from the backline, something Smooch will never do.
I’ve always wondered what Fox might be like in that role, agree though we don’t have really any back pocket lock down types in the wings.

He wasn’t a liability, that’s a bit unfair. His speed was definitely being found out and his kicking was probably as backward as our defensive thinking.
Probably right. However his disposal limitations fed the chipper. Wonderful player who got the last ounce of ability from himself. Got caught out last year and do not want to see him towelled up this year.
