There is nothing they can do about it when the AFL rewards rock spiders and dry humpers, many of them 15cm taller and 15kg heavier than the little guy attacking the football!
When crowds return, I think "Humper ... Humper ... Humper" might be my new derogatory call for the gutless tacklers! They are like 100kg rat terriers that want to hump everything than passes within reach then steal the prize!
These big blokes aren't top predators like tigers or lions, they are more like a hyena, vulcer or bush pig, scavenging somebody else's hard work!
The game is more contested than ever before, you can't carry players who won't put the body on the line and pull up short in contests or hang back.
Size helps but Kade Simpson has shown its about attitude and wanting to risk all to win the ball. We also have too many nice boys who won't mongrel up when required..
We need a SPP not a SPS and a Brayden Maynard enforcer type who can provide that physical presence. I'm all for getting Zac Williams but without the other types I mentioned it will be more of the same with teams over powering and intimidating us.
