Toast Travis Colyer: The perfect sub

[footycool]

Was instrumental when he came on at HT for Welsh. Provided some real speed and offense and kicked 2 goals.

PS: It's Colyer not Colyar

Re: Travis Colyar: The perfect sub

Agree he is the perfect sub. Should be brought on early in the 3rd though. He has good pace and the endurance and skill set of a linking mid. I get the feeling he could play with no rotations for 40 min of football.

Davey is not a perfect sub as he plays forward of the ball so wont bring the run through the midfield that Colyer will.

NLM is a better defensive sub, ie as a true utility he can be there as a good cover to any injuries, but Colyer is the guy to bring a lot of run in 40 - 50 min.

Stuff the sub, we lack small forwards who can crumb. This bloke can he fits in well with Jetta and the Davey we had on Saturday night who went in hard.

Re: Travis Colyar: The perfect sub

I'm not saying he would have been the answer, but we lacked guys with any speed up forward whilst we were playing the "3 big man experiment" to get in and under when the ball hit the deck. For a period, we lead the comp in F50 entries but really struggled to maintain and score there during the previous lean 5 weeks.

We have so many holes already in our line up, but I'd like to be able to afford to have TC as a stand alone forward pocket in the vein of Milne or Ballantine.

I think that everyone could see how a 1/2 fit Welsh, still with a little pace on his side, opened up our F50 with leads up the middle. If our 'plan A' is to bomb to the top of the square (which every other team seems to know and sends 10 players back there religiously) then he could certainly be the continuation of our 'plan B'. No one could catch the bugger on Saturday night, when he got a run on the ground and he would be a super tough match up for most clubs in the league.

It would also add to our forward defensive pressure having TC and Alwyn running around the same 50m area on the ground. Would make some backmen real twitchy when they got the ball in their hands to dispose of it quickly and be much like when we had Andy Lovett and Alwyn at their peak under the Knights similar forward game plan.
