I want your opinions guys, I know some of you are gonna bag me and call me a muppet, I don’t care. But, I’m a very passionate supporter of our club, and I’m not afraid to say it as it is. The question that I want to ask, and it shits me that this doesn’t happen is this. We have no.1 and no.2 draft pick, key tall forwards at the club. One, Boyd has had physical and mental health issues holding him back, Schache also, but why don’t we employ specialist coaches or mentors say a Wayne Carey, Mathew Lloyd or Brereton to show these guys how it’s done? I know I’ve said this before, but Jesus Christ. The first time in my time, nearly 40 years of following the Dogs, we’ve got two big key forwards who were highly rated, we don’t get them any extra help. Now, I don’t want to hear sarcasm or bullshit responses. Please be half decent with your opinions. Cheers
Why not use Chris Grant to do some mentoring?

Firstly Schache is not and never will be a KPP. Build his fitness and he works hard on his defensive pressure he plays as a dangerous HFF or FP. Being the third or fourth banana is different to being one of the KPP's.

As for Boyd, could actually start by playing him there for at least 80% of his time on the ground which is yet to happen. With Naughton also developing as a KPF it is likely he will get the second best tall.

Once they are actually played in their best positions having someone or a couple of mentors develop them makes sense as there is focus and clarity on what they are actually being developed as

I'm interested to see how Boyd goes with the new 6-6-6 rule out of the goal square. We know he needs to improve his game but if we get it in quick even with our atrocious inside fifty bombs he gives us that presence and might have more chance of clunking a few being one on one.
