Pies >193; 3 - Cox 211, Grundy 203, Reid 196.
Would it go back as far as when we were lining up with Dempsey, Quinlan, Sandilands, Templeton and Ian Salmon or the like?
The game has changed a bit. The only player out of that forrest of talls listed there who is taller than the Bont is Gary Dempsey. And Dempsey is only 4 CMs taller.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I'd like to see them play Dunks down back like his old man did. Let him run at the ball and start taking his grabs.

In this day and age the better kicks are behind the ball an poorer kicks in front of the ball, it's reverse world from 20 years ago.
Dunkley still has fantastic hands and long term will be a player, getting him to do the basics in the VFL for a few weeks won't hurt him.

What are people's thoughts on defensive roles? Collingwood have a few midfielders who can use it really well - Sidebottom, Treloar, Pendlebury, but I'm not sure who we've got best suited to play a run with role. Maybe Dahlhaus to Sidebottom?
