Players with real speed.

[Snake_Baker]

Backline - Williams
Midfield - Higgins, Hartung, Anderson (just)
Forward line - Atley, Hrovat (just)

Reserves - Hibberd, Mountford, Williams

That's it, and it's the problem with our list in a nutshell.

We MUST get 2 more in the midfield, at least 1 more in defence and another up forward.

Hibberd & Mountford MUST start getting games until we rectify the list.

 

[Benno_900]

Turner has pace - don't see it often though because he runs himself into the ground.

Hrovat? Lol

 

[Heaps of fun]

You made this post after just saying that Gordon Narrier should be the first to be delisted.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Also Hrovat is turtle like and you forgot Daw.

 

[Zondor]

Walker is quick. Needs to build a tank. Wood has always been a good runner. :stern look

 

[goalieboy82]

didn't the Bomber players have speed?

Majak needs a 10 metre run up to hit speed. He's not "burst quick"

I didn't post the thread to invite critiques from the cheap seats, I want discussion about how we rectify this.

 

[Waynesworld]

Atley's only real attribute is his speed, and since being moved forward he isn't using it.

Needs to be moved back to half back to give us some run.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Narrier isn't quick and he is an outrageously one way player.

Yes he is what have you been smoking?

Then you should write a better OP with more considered thoughts and facts.

I'm with you there young Scallywag. Daw has the 6th and 7th quickest top speeds in the league for the season. Hrovat doesn't strike me as being overly quick. :stern look

No, I should spell you in the paddock for a bit. Bye.

Sorry, didn't realise this was a fact-free zone, snowflake.

He's using it, it's just that it's getting wasted defensively tracking multiple targets all the time.

We need more players like him further up the ground.

Fair point that. :stern look

Yep, in another year or two.

What do we do until then?

 

[Snake_Baker]

His real strength is as a chase down tackler, not moving the ball quickly through the arcs.

Hrovat and Hibberd not quick

There is no doubt that the club is aware we need some additional outside run and it doesn't surprise that we are targeting the likes of Gaff, Polec and Hall. For now I'm with you in that Hibberd and Mountford need to play. s**t Neilson is also quick and a true defender and should've been given an opportunity by now. But that's your Buddy Scotts for you. :stern look

Yeah with Hibberd he may not have blistering pace but he does run all day. Disappointing he hasn't been given another run this year. :stern look

 

[Tectonic]

Hopefully we are targetting Polec and Hall.

Should be drafting for breakaway speed also. There's things that can be taught, acceleration is not one of them.

 

[Val Keating]

Luke Davies-Uniacke would have more burst speed then anyone in our side

 

[Paganism mark II]

We need “2 step speed”, burst players that get to the ball 1st.
We have enough “good runners” that will run at the same speed all day, which isn’t quick enough

 

[Paganism mark II]

Luke Davies-Uniacke would have more burst speed then anyone in our side

He will have soon, as will Tarryn Thomas

 

[Horace]

A bit hard to believe, given the Hawks delisted him but I think Hartung doing a hamstring has cost us more than we would have imagined. He was very good early in the year when we were winning games most people expected us to lose.
