It's the same issue we have with Naughton, he's a great prospect at both ends of the ground
Bevo called on him to play forward in a JLT game given Tom Boyd was struggling with his injured back. Naughty kicked 3 goals from memory and made a big impression

Agreed, we need 2 of Naughton. Could actually do with 3 - because his injuries are becoming too frequent it would be nice to have a spare.

I would like to see an entire team of Matt Sucklings, just to watch EW's head explode.

Lets redraft him mid season after we are sure EW has paid for his membership

Does anyone know anyone that knows how to sticky a thread?

Mantis tried that with the Eagleton thread but got rejected.

I doubt there was a lot of speculation on needing two Bob Murphys, perhaps some passing comments, but Johnno, Grant and Quinlan spring to mind and I'm probably missing quite a few others.

Definitely recall (or at least I think I recall) it being said about Murphy when it was debated as to whether he should play forward or back......but if say it didn't happen, it didn't happen!

That definitely happened. He was a fantastic lead up forward for us and actually played CHF on a number of occassions. Would have loved a Bob forward and back.

Yep, pre doing the first knee v Collingwood he was having a huge impact as a CHF despite his known quality as a HBF.

Believe we tried him forward when he returned but he wasn't the same.

I fondly remember him often taking a lead up mark around 70 metres out and instantly wheeling around and pumping the ball to a dangerous position deep in our forward 50. A nightmare for the deep defenders as he would get the ball in so quickly. After the knee he seemed to lose some of that agility.

Bob made the 2008 AA squad of 40 playing at CHF. The knee injury robbed him of his turning circle and he went back to half back.

No idea what you mean. Unless it's that Rolling Stones album.

Yeah sticky threads are just way too suss.

Well they're nothing to worry about here because nobody knows how to do them.

Anyone know the injury news?

Never heard of it and because nobody knows how to sticky threads I think you're trolling me.

EW's being a scallywag G, don't pay any attention to him.

Needs to get out from under the doona.

If I knew how to do it I'd sticky every thread. Then there'd be no complaints at all.

Oh there’d be complaints about how to unsticky a thread.
