Think SPS suits a defensive setup vs Richmond who run more small forwards than most teams, dont need to be too tall down back. SPS is slow and will be carved up.

Agree he isnt lightening quick, can pick and choose when to go but we dont have many options and I think we have to try and
get him to replicate that game he played vs Essendon where he was close to goal.
I wouldnt put him on Bolton out at half back for example but Rioli closer to goal in the pocket is where I think he might do better.

Fogarty should be at the other end of the ground. If you want a back pocket in place of SPS, move willo there from the wing and replace him with Setterfield.....or put setterfield straight into the BP. Bring Ed into the guts to replace him.
A much more balanced side that way.
We’re crying out for a small, tenacious lock down back pocket - we just don’t have one, but I’d love to see fog given a go there. Carrazzo played there for a season or so before migrating to the midfield. And fog can lay a tackle.

Perhaps Fogarty has the ability to turn into a BP type (in time)?

Eddie, Fisher, Martin and Murph could create some headaches provided our inside 50 delivery enables our talls to bring the ball to ground AND we don't try to rely on our small forwards to outmark their defenders. A bit of defensive pressure inside our forward 50 won't go astray either.

If he had played in the seniors last game and done ok I'd be all for it as I rate him but he still seems down the pecking order for selection. If we let the Tiger small forwards have as much of the ball as the Saints small forwards last week we will be hammered.
We need to make it a tough contest which would have suited Stocker but I cant see him playing unless we have a few more injuries we dont know about...

I think Stocker's days as a defender are behind him. He played as a midfielder in his brief cameo against the Bummers and, according to the coach, did very well in the midfield in the VFL practice match:
Quote:13. Liam Stocker
Stats: 24 disposals, six tackles, one goal
‘Stock’ played the most midfield minutes out of anyone on the ground. He also had a balanced day in terms of his stoppage work and getting out and running some really good patterns and not collapsing into the contest, which is what he’s been working on. He got rewarded a couple of times on the back of those running patterns in the centre of the ground, which really set us up in a dangerous manner when it came to moving the ball forward. He also kicked a really nice goal from about 40 out and tackled well also, so it was a good day for him.
After not having much involvement last season and learning a new role, I would expect him to be pressing for selection in the midfield after a couple of rounds. I would really like to see his attack on the ball influencing midfield contests in the near future.

I just watched the Making Their Mark doc, its no wonder they have won 3 of the last 4 flags. It will take an unbelievable group of players and coaches to knock them off. I always thought Dimma was a flog, after watching that doc, he is a just a briliant coach.
