Teams are slowly becoming lists of players +190cm in size, the HFFs and HBFs are KPP size from a decade or two ago!
What's Cripps now, 6'5" (195cm), similar in size to Weitering and Rowe!
KPPs are not going to scale in size relative to midfielders, it's just going to even out!
And you are writing this the day after Adelaide made Nthmond's single KPF structure looked mighty brittle. Adelaide going with Walker and Jenkins looked reliable, they kicked 9 goals between them, and the had Fogarty at about 194cm x 95kg roaming around besides them as a HFF!
What i'm saying is hard to played two genuinely trained key forwards. The taller midfielder is playing that second role. We have the perfect players in Curnow and Cripps for that.
Yes, but in a big final where counted it was much tougher for Adelaide against Richmond. If there's a lack of pressure a few talls can cut you up. Finals pressure a different game. Richmond's game is based on pressure, without it their system isn't as good.
