Re: The Hard Road To The Premiership - Thryleon - 12-30-2015
You know our midfield will be good when we can afford to have Murphy and Gibbs out of there and not look any less convincing.
Ideally, Murphy would play on a wing, Gibbs a half forward flank playing onball in spurts but spending most of his time as a finisher as he is deadly on the run from about 50 out, and we would have a midfield setup that included a few boys who are good at getting it, and damaging with it in the engine room like Graham, Cripps and at least one more like Carrazzo who can shutdown an opponent and win the ball himself.
Hopefully we can play Thomas on a wing this season and we get value for him.
Too much wishfull thinking in there, odds are it wont happen.

x2....losing Judd, Carrazzo and Bell has left us a bit short in the midfield size wise and while C. Curnow is being talked up as a forward
I reckon he will end up a onballer and be Cripps right hand man...

Imagine Curnow just explodes onto the scene next year and takes the comp apart! And all the other clubs that passed up on him rue their mistake, and we get lucky for once! It could happen.

Curnow will be doing what Everitt does, just better more vigorous .
Having said that, he's not quite ready to roll I think. Has a very unusual body shape.

We didn't get lucky with Cripps? :o

Well not so much because we targeted him from a few years back did we not? Cripps was just brilliant drafting. Curnow probably fell through to us because of the drink drive issue.

I'm pretty sure that we targeted Charlie too; the drink driving incident just meant we got him with a lower pick.
While there's talk of him being used in the midfield, he only had limited time there in the TAC Cup before getting injured. The club refers to him as a key forward and his strengths are his marking and tank and I reckon he'll be used as a lead up forward.

Ditto... Will be play forward with "shocktrooper" stints on ball like Roughead.

Not sure prof.
This guy has enormous running power and if you watch him train he loves to be on the move.
I reckon he'll be something like a Kouta/Fyfe.
