JLT Series - 5 days away

[flyboy77]

I think we are highly unlikely to field a team with SoJ, Charlie, Cripps, McKay, Casboult, Kreuzer, Jones, Marchbank and Weitering.

One or two of them won't be making the cut, as a group there are too many slow players.

Further to that, we have Phillips, Rowe and Lobbe on the sidelines with De Koning and Kerr making up senior list numbers.

If we add O'Shea and Macreadie to the list of KPP options, they are over 193cm, it's quite hard to see a balanced list taking the field with any more than 8 or 9 of the slower tall players.

I would say Jones, Charlie, Macreadie and Marchbank are as quick as any KPP tall types in the comp. On Marchbank:

"He's also not overly quick off the mark, but counters that by being able to read the play well and get ahead, in front or around opponents. "

Special K is a ruckman, Weitering and SoJ have excellent anticipation and footy smarts...it's not all about leg speed.

Cripps too has gotten quicker since he started.

Just because it happened to work for the Tiges and the Dogs, doesn't mean it's the only 'model' that works....
