Exactly, he would have come right in from where he was in the phantom drafts prior to his last 2 games. Erasmus will still be there with our next pick.Agree he needs to be 8 or 10. It's not a "reach" if you're fulfilling a need.

Closed down a lot of space last season and affected a lot of kicks.Mobility isn't one of his strong points imo. Certainly not good enough to be a top "medium" forward.

You can’t do that if you are slow.
Really? Surely it's not a reach if that’s what you see his draft ranking as? Otherwise it is a reach based on needs.Agree he needs to be 8 or 10. It's not a "reach" if you're fulfilling a need.
Unless medium forwards are something special they tend to get monstered by tall defenders. Most teams run three tall defenders. This is the problem we had during the Pav years where the lack of a three tall (two KPF and 2nd ruck) attack led to poor scoring and a fair amount of noise here about not drafting talls.
In fact it could be argued that contested marking smalls like Ryan reduce the requirements for medium forwards.
Consequently I am for
1 resting ruck/fwd
2 KPF's
2 small forwards
last two spots (1 starting 6 and 1 bench) best available small or medium fwd or even defensive fwd.
We don’t even have one forward close to those numbersBailey Fritsch kicked six goals in the GF and nearly 60 goals for the year. He was plucked out of the VFL too. I don’t think there’s ‘something special’ about him; he thrives as a mismatch and can kick straight. If there’s anything we’re missing, it’s a medium forward who can do the same—present as a third options, take marks and kick truly. Hopefully that’s Sam Sturt
They played their role, coaches love that.I'm still processing that all of Switta, Schultz and Trav finished top 10 in the Doig. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Of all our forwards only Walters would even move the needle of an opposition coach. Maybe Schultz.if you looked at our small forwards who would cause an opposition coach to have a pause for thought?
Schultz might give him 30 seconds of concern…
that’s it.
there’s no pace, very little marking power and on the way back out the opposition has a party.
Sturt MUST be available.
he is quick on the lead, can mark, is a great kick and can play pressure.
if Lobb doesn’t get traded, then Lobb, Treacy and Tabs is the bets mix of current talls we have.
Sturt, Switta and Schultz
Add Rachele
I’d be looking at Freddy and Henry on the wings
Are you referring to our small forwards only? If not, Tabs can certainly cause opposition coaches some headaches.Of all our forwards only Walters would even move the needle of an opposition coach. Maybe Schultz.
