Jacob Townsend

[nswtiger]

He does not strain anything , he just breaks things ! Body's mainly

It won't happen, but i'd like see Towner play midfield against the Cats, he'd have Ablett, Dangerfield and Selwood looking over their shoulders.
He would have been handy in that role against the Powers bigger midfielders.

Does he have the tank to play mid though? I'm not so sure but if he does, it could be a handy player to rotate through there for us.

 

[pete and tys]

Clearly our best at Willi today. Been hard and good and playing on ball.

 

[mad_tiggy911]

Bring back our old forward line.

 

[Go The Tiges!]

Bring him back in! Good forward pressure, can take a mark and is a nice straight kick!!

He won the Liston as a mid.

He won the Liston as a mid.

Thanks for the info TBH. Much appreciated.

I like his game today. Played up forward and through the midfield.

Was busy.

 

[waiting]

Liked his game too!

I wouldn't be against him coming in and also rotating through the midfield with instructions if either of the Holly Trinity are there to be tackled go through them rugby style tackle that he loves to do and is renown for.

Could be wrong but I think he had 13 tackles in the VFL.

Massive!

 

[mad_tiggy911]

He was great today. I would bring him in for Moore.

Reunite the gang.

 

[zippadeee]

100% he should be included. We Have missed that mongrel and toughness.
I hope he puts Stewart in one of those 'JonesCrouch' tackles

 

[Brettstigers]

11 tackles... With Graham out resting/finding him some form - why can't Townsend play the run with role and leave Moore up forward or rotate with him?

Graham isn't particularly quick so Townsend's lack of pace isn't a trade down and you can't fault his defensive pressure. Also if Moore is getting blanketed you can swap him in to unbalance the opposition defense.

Feels like a plan.

Could you imagine Selwoods face, must be a free, no-ones allowed to touch me. (arms outstretched with that dopey look on his face).

Graham is quicker than Towner and has a bigger tank. Towner couldn't keep up with VFL players at times yesterday. He's a forward.

Yep. He struggles at times keeping up with players just playing forward due to lack of pace. Forward or nothing imo.

Yes he struggles to keep up, but when he does, they struggle to get up

 

[Daigoro]

I think he goes a lot better with the 3 amigos in the team. They balance his lack of pace and allows him to concentrate on competing in the air and killing people, rather then chasing tail.
