Er, and Collingwood has Travis Cloke and Anthony Rocca and got smashed. This years Coleman medalist was playing with a dildo on Mad Monday as well. I think it's more about having good players than big ones.
As much as I'd love a power forward or two, if we could get decent performances out of Hahn and Welsh it would help. I don't think they're not big enough, I think they're not good enough.
Is anyone else as sick of uninformed opposition supporters, or journos in this case, bringing up that we don't have a key forward to refute any claims we may have to being a good side?
For all the knocks on our forward line, we:
- are the highest scoring team in the comp
- have the most inside 50's
- we are the most efficient team when inside 50 (i.e: when our forwards have it)
Its simply lazy arguing, without any thought in it at all.
