KPPs need to create scoring opportunities for team-mates, that is the part Key refers to along with their size and bulk, if they spend too much time roving they are just clogging a space on the field that a smaller more agile player could fill!
It's no good Carlton fans complaining about Charlie Curnow or SoJ being muscled, tag teamed and bullied by bigger heavier bodies, and wishing that Cripps had the opportunity to use his size advantage inside F50, while at the same time accepting the opposition can allocate a medium sized defender to deal with your 200cm x 100kg forward!
We don't get to stand Plowman or Thomas on a Hawkins, Roughead or Franklin, why should opponents be allowed to stand mediums on our KPFs!
It's an abject failure of our coaching panel and player development that these situations continue to persist!
"Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck ....... Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck"
