We don't have enough or any small forwards. Put Heeney and McGlynn in there at the feet of Franklin and you will see a difference. I would rather see Tippett as purely a ruckman which will make a our forward line less predictable.

Surely you are gagging Wolfy. Jack was one of the few who had a go on Saturday for most of the game.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
It's all three! We are in trouble. Fringe players have to step up big time, established players have to step up big time and the coaching panel has to step up big time, and come up with better game day strategies, and better training drills that focus on precision disposal and elite decision making when under pressure. We have slipped down the pecking order in all of these areas, and need to turn it all around fast, or our ladder position will soon reflect the truth of our predicament. Also, it's time for some 'Bloods' pride to kick in.....BIG TIME!!!
Interesting that Parker has challenged his $1000 fine. If he loses the fine will increase to $1500. I assume he believes it was an accident and doesn't want any form of blemish on his record. I'm sure it was an accident but I don't like his chances of getting the finding overturned. Too many viewings by too many people of the incident in slow motion which always makes contact look premeditated.
There was a player a few weeks back that challenged their fine and they got off. I can't recall who it was though.
After thinking some more about the Parker incident, I can see why he is upset. Remember Stevie Johnson's hit in Jarrad McVeigh's groin earlier this year? The MRP kindly said that Johnson was merely trying to block McVeigh�s passage to the ball and, in doing so, made contact to McVeigh�s groin area. "It was the view of the panel that Johnson�s actions were not considered reportable as he was trying to win position for the ball, had it been loose. No further action was taken."
Well Parker was in a legitimate leap to take a mark. No wonder he is annoyed.
