Senior List
As all people know all positions in football have a certain role or purpose. eg. you dont just play in the forward pocket you play deep in the forward line while staying wide and when the ball comes to the full forward you collect it if he doesn't etc. I reckon we should try to come up with the 'role' of each position or what the person put there is supposed to do.
Ill post the answers here-
BP- Generally defensive players used on a small forward. Also often do the kick-ins or zone into the pockets to receive the kick.
FB- Big gorillas who play on other big gorillas, primarily used to defend the surrounding air-space as effectively as possible.
CHB- More aerobic then your FB, they have the thankless task of having to follow the CHF on all of his 50-60m leads. Also often used as a general in defence or a designated kicker.
HBF- generally a hard running outside midfielder with pace who will be the first man that the ball is entrusted to when a team is exiting its defensive 50 and setting up attacking plays. More or less a quaterback...
W- Flashy types who run and bounce along the outer wings, usually with penetrating kicks into the forward line. Will also rotate through the middle on occasions.
C- Big-bodied in-and-under player who dishes the ball out to teammates.
HFF- The link between the forward line and the middle, often leading up onto the wing and delivering to the bigger forwards. Usually also a midfield rotator.
CHF- Generally big players who use their athletic prowess to gain advantage. Generally considered the most important position on the field.
FF-Stays deep, leads out of the square as the no.1 target.
FP- Crumbers. Usually have excellent pace and good 'goal smarts'. Also used to add defensive pressure when the ball hits the deck and/or when the opposition are rebounding.
RM-Generally used to contest ball-ups and throw-ins, and the more athletic ruckmen are also used as extra forward options.
RR- Outside runners the centre generally tries to get the ball to for run and carry.
R-
I/C- 'Impact' players, replacements and spuds who make up the numbers all generally start on the bench.
Thanks guys me and some mates are very interested in the opinions which will certainly come out here.
(BTW i think this is on the right board?
