Yeah? I remember him taking 10 contested grabs in a game too!
Yep he was a beast could do it all at CHF, my point was that contested mark count might have been lessened due to the game plan of isolating him.

Shaz is a more attacking kick of the footy than Mayne and actually has the ability to hit those kicks.
As a footballer, he is not short, not really tall to take on a true KPP, he could take a 2nd tall on weak team, 3rd tall on a strong team, that could be a Gunston who would prove too elusive, he's not weak, but he's not the strongest. He can be prone to over analyse situations and not play with gut instinct, he will lose most foot races, even against some bigger blokes, big frame lot of weight to carry, not great endurance as a result. Speaking from experience. He is pigeon holef as a defender. Although definitely overall a very solid contributor, his only way to truly stand out is through his disposal with well weighted, directed kicks setting players loose further up the field when he gets an opportunity he has to take responsibility and pinpoint a moving target running forward. To cement his place week in week out and play to his strengths. It's fine being adequate in all areas but needs to work on his standout feature, field kicking. He wants to keep the ball moving that's fine that's modern footy but sometimes he should go back 10 metres from the mark, hold up play and be inventive or do something similar, buy some time and space with his composure.

I know, but to have Thomas consistently make the squad over him is strange.

Reminds me of Dusty, no-one has found a counter to the stiff arm. I would hang back just out of arm's reach, no purchase then go the hips like a wrecking ball it would come loose the old don't argue is just so effective.

Competing for a different role.

They probably weren't recording that stat for the first half of his career.
Lucky we didn’t drop Cox then!
It won’t come down to a choice between the two whilst we are missing Howe and Langdon. Shaz is the better defender than Mayne though, whilst Mayne can play anywhere.

His man (or Darcy's) will be the second ruck for them - Esava.
You'd have one of them cover when Esava is in the ruck, provided Fort was off the ground resting.
As previously stated Scharenberg is injured - bruised ribs. Very debilitating.

There's a fair queue for our flanks and wings: Crisp, Maynard, Quaynor, Varcoe, Daicos, Phillips, WHE, Stepho, Elliott, JDG, Sidebottom already in the team who offer more offensively than Mayne. I can see them pushing Mayne out of a wing/flank. In which case it would come down to a choice between Shaz and Mayne for that role.

He copped a knee in the ribs from McEvoy in the last quarter.
I tried one of my front and square, wrap around, crunching tackles on the largest Dear brother Jim one day. Not a very bright option.

Yeah mate I know. It was in the context of the discussion re: the kicking skills of Shaz vs Mayne. Some see them as on par, I reckon Shaz has him comfortably covered.
