How do you expect to win games when we have the following players in the same team:
  • King (174cm)
  • Nahas (176cm)
  • Foley (177cm)
  • Cousins (177cm)
  • Farmer (178cm)
  • Nason (178cm)
  • White (179cm)
  • Weberly (180cm)
  • Edwards (180cm)
Thats almost half our team. We coudln't win any aerial contests because how players were just too small to take the grabs.

Recruiting department really need to look at this.
 
small forward:
nahas, nason, edwards

small defender:
farmer

mid:
foley, webberly

gone:
king, white, cuz,

we have a good spread over the ground though. teams have small forwards (who are small), small defenders (who are small), and blokes like foley and cuz who are good enough to play can be in the middle. there were too many in the team mostly because cuz king and white were in but they wont be once players like jackson, connors, polo (maybe) come back. going forward i dont see it as an issue althought tonight there were too many.
 
and to add to that i did notice that one tall player in particular do v badly, vickery. Where do i start? he looked so disinterested and slow. was a bad bad bad show by him.

on the other hand i was impressed by Jack.R. i no longer think is shit. just merely overrated, yet doing v well considering what he is up against. WD JR

Totally agree with you. Bad team structure and especially so when have the side has poor decision making/poor skills.

That's 13 of a 22 player premiership team
 
The fact that our talls are undersized and unable to compete in the air doesn't allow to many crumbs for these blokes , mind you replace all bar three of Cuz, King, Foley, Webberly , Edwards , Nahas , Nason and White , with Jackson, Gourdis, Griffith, Conners and Taylor, and I'd be happy round 12 can't wait !!

They can't crumb anyway.
Nahas never puts himself in the right spot. Hardly ever front and centre.
We need a small forward who can rove. Nahas had an absolute shocker. His last quarter was good, but put out 3 quarters of rubbish.

Don't disagree but if we can bring is some blokes to compete in the air Foley, Cousins, who can rove a pack and one of the rest would be more usefull !!
May also work out that Morton , if he can be sorted out , might become our roving forward !!
 
The issue is we dont have a lot of players who can mark the ball around the ground so we kick to the short people who should be getting their crumbs, plus we don't move the ball quickly and hit our targets, it doesn't matter how tall you are if the ball is out in front of you.
