Practice Match: Blues v Pies, Fri 24 Feb

[kruddler]

I think others noticed how many of our forward entries were high... on a number of occasions it appeared that blokes paused and intentionally launched it high, perhaps a conscious effort to maximise height and limit the need for small forward input seeing how we were missing a couple of our prime small forwards. Just a thought.

I think it's the opposite.

Kick it high so the tallest bloke back there (harry), and the guys with the biggest leaps (Charlie and tdk) can get an advantage.
Of course that also allows us time for the small forwards to get to the drop of the ball if we can't get to it.
