my last contemplation for the day
I know Nick Smith is a player that does a difficult job and makes it look pretty easy most games...........but I have started to wonder whether Armstrong is lifting to a cardio level where he could play a Nick Smith shut down type role...... but have the added advantage of very very sharp counter attack?
I dont think it is beyond possible........they put a man on the moon the 1960's.......and if "Neil Armstrong" got the sneaky chance in the NAB to play Smithies role and he did very very well then the cat is amongst the pigeons
Its funny how certain players can play at a club for 5 or 6 seasons and no one comes close to them as they master the role they are given but them a superior athlete or footballer comes along and seizes their opportunity !!
Then run with role is always vulnerable to hot competition in my opinion, as that is generally their only position they can play above others in the squad......and I think we have all seen enough from Armstrong in his attack that we know we would be better for his playmaking..........its just how much would we loose if he couldnt shutdown in defence as well as Smithy !
