The difference between our opposition waltzing out of our forwardline, and being made to be accountable.
Polson and Jack leading the way in that respect, and Gibbons and Fasolo should be earning their stripes. Wouldn't it be better to lose with an eye to the future rather than an eye to the present??
I'm trying to win games if I'm coaching.......re: Fasalo.. we knew what we were buying, he doesnt provide forward 50 pressure but he can kick multiple goals, he can take a strong mark for his inches and snap a goal...thats what you get.
Gibbons is a midfielder.....his forte is getting the ball and being creative with it, yes he can tackle and provide pressure but his CV at VFL level has been about playing onball as a midfielder..
Its like recruiting an Electrician and a Plasterer and then telling them they will be working as a Plumber but dont worry mate you know tools so it will be easy to retrain you ...why do we always try and change players roles and never recruit the real deal?
Polson will provide forward pressure/tackling but cant get the ball and a quarter of his few possies are clangars........
I like Jack but he isnt a small forward and has lost his place to McGovern in that 3rd tall role at the minute......would make our forward line very slow with 4 x taller types...
Pickett and/or Garlett should be playing the role or even Lebois but for various reasons are not available or not up to it.........
