Big game players and big game posters are surely one in the same? lol!!

I know one we recently got rid of

OK I was kidding. Please don't attack me WOOFers!

That's it... I'm invoking my standard BF Aker response of "2 goals in 9 games"

I actually did - he gave me a 15 minute rant about Brad Johnson and Leigh Matthews, then said in a desperate voice "for the love of god please buy my book"

Re: Big Game Players

Let's get this thread back on track from the girly slapfights and the Aker talk.


I've got a query about a couple of players that's been nagging at me for a while and I've tried to dismiss it because they're awesome. But what do you guys/girls reckon. Do Adam Cooney and Ryan Griffen tackle enough for elite mids? Seriously they are both proven (epecially Griff) big game players but it is rare that you see them have 5 or 6 tackles (let alone the 10 or so Ward is capable of) to go along with their 30 odd touches. Is this purely because they are offensive players and thus target the ball and not the man. And if so is this part of our problem?

Its definitely a good point.

Cooney averaged 3 tackles per game this season (slightly up on his career ave).
Griffen averaged 3.25 (also slightly up)

Some opposition gun mids this year:

Hayes - 6.56
Ablett - 4.2
Judd - 5.25
Selwood - 5.25
Pendelbury - 5.3
Swan - 4.375
