I have another idea .Pinch hit him in the ruck every now and then for a surprise. He can use his leap

 

[TigerTime88]

He did that for a short stint yesterday and it got him going in the second half.

 

[Mr Magic]

I didn't see the complete game yesterday. I must have missed that

Why is playing a forward who needs to learn to lead up to the ball , in defence , stupid ?
Is commonly used as a technique to tech players to attack the footy , just because some mis- read it , as in decision as to where he should play , doesn't mean that was the case ?
Also at the same time he may have blossomed , thought it was a fantastic idea and could only help 1% defensive skills also ?

i actually think he should permanently be played in defence.
if hes lost a yard or two of pace i can see why he would be given opportunities forward atm.

i dont know if anyone can remember them as juniors but both post and rance were very nice movers across the ground for their size.
patience is the key with talls a lot of them do just sort of suddenly click having done little before hand.

I wouldn't mind seeing Post Griffiths & Riewoldt starting up forward. The way I would set it up is to have Griffiths & Post lining up on either side of the corridor around the 50m line, with Jack coming out of the square.

As the ball comes out of the backline they both lead, one towards the corridor and the other leads up the wing. That way it gives our backline 2 strong options to go for. The beauty of this is it forces 2 opposition talls to be dragged out of the F50 leaving Jack room to move and operate 1-1 inside 50.

I don't mind that at all particularly with Griff and JR. I still think JR can play forward pocket but JR for me is definitely a deeper forward particularly since he has his goal kicking boot on

sounds as good a theory as any i've heard. we definitely have the raw talent to build a strong forward line around with those 3

I've always thought Gourdis was big, but Post made him look tiny when they were standing next to each other on Saturday.

 

[tiggywigs]

Just needs time. We won't really get a fix on his true potential for about another 12-24 months.

Post would make Richo look small. Last year he was a skinny white kid running around and have a look at him now.

I disagree.

Firstly because in the VFL post was used as both a defender and a forward which is a stupid way to get a player to learn the correct technique if he doesn't even know where he is playing.

Secondly because young forwards do learn and get to practice in the seniors. That is because they are generally undersized so they have to work on technique to beat AFL standard defenders and thus when their body develops they improve rapidly.

Same reason why Thursfield was playing forward - to learn how they're opponent moves.
For defenders playing forward - you learn how to defend your opponent by playing in their role.
For forwards playing as defenders - you learn how the best way to defeat a defender is, you also learn skills from other forwards who you man up on.

Richo was 197cm and 105kg. Post is maybe shorter. Is supposed to be 195cm and would be maybe 95kg?

Richo was never 105 kg, that's ridiculous. Simmo would have barely pushed 105 kg even when he bulked up.

Pretty much what my post meant was he has bulked up ALOT.

for about a decade he was listed as 105kg

 

[Mr Magic]

I think Richo got up there as he mentioned in one of his interview. I thought he was only 195 196 cm maybe though.

Postie though needs to put the work in the of season though particularly his legs and enduro/power
