Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sector
Why settle for our hat when you can have the real deal!?
Maybe not as "eye catching" but he put together a much more consistent body of work during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. In fact he had the most contested marks in the entire AFL during that time.
Plus his performance in the 2012 grandfinal, where he basically rucked solo against McEvoy and Hale (Mumford was next to useless that day), and beat them.
Also taking many telling marks....We wouldn't of won without him. Mike Pyke is a legend!
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

He's a funny guy. Very witty. If he joins RWO I'll be out of a job.
We missed out on a couple of good players and interesting characters when we let Cox and Jack Higgins get away. We could have had both of them.
I'd hate being Matt Ling. The pressure will really be on next year.
I wonder if the teams that copied Richmond small forward set up will take a good look at the two finalist this year, big marking forwards.
If you play a small forward line your kicking skills need to be very good as you can't rely on just bombing forward.
I look forward to a forward line that includes at least 3 players from Reid, McCartin, Franklin (who can play small) & Sinclair and with the proposed starting 6, 6 & 6 we should get the ball forward as quickly as possible.
Mike Pyke took 6 contested marks in the 2012 gf. Mummy got injured and was eventually replaced by Parker (the sub for the day). It wasn't until i went back and watched replays that I realised how influential Mike Pyke was on that day. Mason Cox had a major influence on the outcome against Richmond in the prelim but let's see if he can repeat it in the GF - I hope so.
