Strategy Three tall forwards

[Taylor]

I think the game will trend toward six tall forwards eventually.

It won't be a matter of whether he is tall, it would be is he a fast-tall, agile-tall, slow-tall, contested marking-tall etc.

More money in the game will lead to the better athletes bubbling their way to the top and all other things equal the 200cm guy will get the nod.

That's a long way off yet. An order of magnitude increase on payments is required.

Taberner showed us his value at the end of last season before he got very , very sore . The glimpse we got shows you he has the potential to be another Richardson but he has a very long way to go before we see the full package . His fitness levels are higher than last year and he is spending a lot of time in the gym .
His performance in match sims is very encouraging but he is still developing . Pav and Sumich are putting a lot of time into him and his leading patterns are improving all the time but he needs time and patience .
He will be a better player this year but just wait for next year , he will be stronger and as he spends more time in the team he will be more familiar with the players delivering the ball into the forward line
I want Apeness to get more than half a dozen games this year .
Pavlich is retiring at the end of this year so the rumour goes so he will need to play more than less in the firsts .
