2010 team......lets have a go !!

[Triple B]

As previously mentioned, I reckon Monty was our #1 stager in the past few years.

Jude is probably #1 now, but I doubt he will ever be remembered as a stager, he isn't in the class of Didak, Lloyd et al.

[ScottH]

Did you hear the breaking news this afternoon? The AFL is going to fine stagers so Didak will have to win his kicks another way. Heard Adrian Anderson talking about it late this arvo.

Saw it on the TV last night. And Divak, was one of the first the used on each news I saw. Brought a little smile to my face.

No wonder Lloyd retired. No more diving, especially if Campbell Brown is near.

Do we have any genuine stagers?

Hall and MOL.

I guess that is a no.

[laughingnome]

I reckon we're fairly free of stagers, doesn't go with the hard uncompromising style we play.

Schnieds was the worst I can think of, though he seems to have gotten even bolder at St Kilda in 2009.

I reckon we're fairly free of stagers, ...

Now that Monty is at the Blions. He loves to throw his head back if there was the slightest chance the tackle was above his shoulder. I think the umps were on to him though.

Great move by the AFL, it's a blight on the game.

There's been some classic over the years, Lloyd was always getting pushed in the back whenever he'd run himself under the ball flight and Wanganeen had a spring loaded neck that flicked back as soon as he got anywhere near a pack of players.

Both of those guys got a squillion more frees than they should have.

Precisely!!

Didak even gave Smith a pat on the back after been beaten by him!!

[QUOTE=RogueSwan;472243]are their team mates going to roll the ball to them?


What a few people are forgetting in this small v tall backline discussion is that its all about delivery.Small forwards will get killed by taller backs if the deliverer is put under pressure and kicks the ball too high or too close to run onto. If we have a centreline that can dominate,we will win most games and our backline will be impassable. If our centreline is loose and the opposition has time to deliver accurately it doesn.t matter what size a backman is,he will get done.

And invited him to ride shotgun on his next gangster outing. They're buddies!

I seem to recall that Smith kept Didak very quiet at our last outing. Can anyone confirm my recollection?

Yep, something like 1 kick and 1 handball to halftime....

it aint about out marking when they play small forwards....

are their team mates going to roll the ball to them?

I seem to remember B2 (190cm) beating one of the best small forwards in the competition a few years back, Phil Matera (179cm).

[Auntie.Gerald]

Im out on this one now......

ciao

[RogueSwan]

...

Davis vs Malceski
Didack vs Smith
Thomas vs Tag
Dick vs Shaw
Anthony vs Bolton
Cloke vs LRT

Our boys should easily outmark their opponents with their height advantage.
