Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs. Hawthorn

[ElwoodBlues1]

Yes, I have always strongly advocated (and I think Brother Elwood may have as well) getting the best big guys you can to form the spine and then fill in the rest of the roles as they become available.

Good big players never get any shorter late in tight matches when fatigue starts to kick in, it is the big key position players who win you the big matches. I'm sure there will be someone wanting to argue to the toss on that but history has shown multiple times that the theory is correct even if there has been an alternative bob up for a one-off success.

Yep like you my evil lord I am old school and was an advocate of spine first and then fill in the gaps later, think we have achieved that after 20 years of mis-firing at the draft and we have a lot of those
gaps filled in as well...problem I see it is we need to close a few gaps in the coaching box and then the only way is up.
