Our forward line - changing places

Re: Our forward line - changing places

Roughead and Cordy were the last KP size players taken in early picks way back in 2008

Jones was the pick after Roughead, we've also taken Stringer pick 5, Grant pick 5, and traded pick 26 for Crameri

Stringer, Grant and Cameri are not KPPs

Grant was picked as a KPF for the most part. History tells us he isn't going to be one (no fault of his own) and that Clayton was a better strategist from a list management perspective than he was a talent procurer when he was with us.

Orginally he was picked as a KPP, but it turns out he isn't one.

I disagree

Crameri and Stringer are earmarked for midfield roles. I will agree Grant was drafted as a KPP.

This has been blown out of the water.

He'll spend short bursts in the midfield, but it's not going to be a permanent or lengthy role.

Fine, but he is not a KPF

Maybe, but hardly ever played midfield in his life. He's not a natural midfielder and doesn't have a tank. he broke his leg before he had the chance to move from FF to the midfield at the Pioneers. He's got a big body and he's smart and anyone who has these attributes is touted as midfield material these days - in reality, he's a mile off playing midfield.

Didn't say he was a midfielder right now. I said he is earmarked for a midfield role - some time in the future. The point I was making he is not a KPP.

I know - I'm saying he is a long way of that.

From Stringer's first handful of games, it's clear to me that his greatest strength is his overhead marking ability. The best game I've seen him play was for Williamstown when he kicked five goals to break the game open. He did so with gusto and a true feel of dominance. Dare I say that his play was very arrogant, reminiscent of the arrogance one Wayne Carey used to exhibit.

I'd ask the question: if he's not going to be a main target in our forward line, then will he reach even half of his potential?
