Don’t we? I’m not so sure. We have a number of players with good leg speed. IMO it’s more how we use them and how we play that is the issue.

From the day Voss arrived he was all about contested ball. It’s always been his philosophy no matter what the list
Who do we have that have good leg speed?

We have a huge problem with our small forwards (apart from owies) not kicking enough goals…Goal tallies for 2024…

Matt Owies 33 goals ([emoji122][emoji122])

Lachlan Fogarty 9 goals

Orazio Fantasia 9 goals

Corey Durdin 7 goals

Jesse Motlop 6 goals

That is abysmal [emoji85]

How Owies isn’t already signed up is beyond me. Absolutely blows my mind. He’s such a great kick for goal and you always know what you’re getting from him.

Anyone know anything about the Nathan O'Driscoll situation? Apparently Freo have low balled him Acres style and will be departing due to that.

Very good player but terrible history of injury... Probably rules us out on that fact alone after years of enduring Martin, Cunners etc

Sounds like the usual Peter Bell 4D chess move

Is strange which makes me think he has an offer on the table that we are not prepared to match. I can’t imagine we haven’t put something in front of him by now, but good luck to him if he wants to explore his options.
 
IMO Durdin is a midfielder being played as a forward
I would actually love to see him played in the middle. Jack Viney type. Short, agile. If his tackling and his attack on the footy came up to scratch then he adds heaps. A few years ago he would go into the middle and make things happen, real impact player. Then the coach stopped doing it and he has also carried a shoulder injury too long.

I think he played his junior footy in the middle is that right?

One of Voss' biggest weaknesses is knowing where to play players and where to try players. While I would not want to have him as head coach, gee Brett Ratten would be an amazing get at the club. He's an elite assistant and this is one of his strengths.

I'd love to see Durdin get a good run on the ball, even if he has to to it through the VFL and earn his spot. He's fast off the mark and he's got great agility, more a mid than a forward, a lot of the top sides have good little guys in there who use their strengths to be evasive with the footy and their closing ability to apply pressure and tackling. He could be that player.

What if we just simply had to add Durdin and Lord to our onball group to bring us up to speed and we never tried it? This is what worries me about Voss. I think he probably tries stuff in the match sims during the summer and takes too much away from that. I don't think you can take much away from match sim. Players aren't in first gear and the standard is not AFL.
