So JT is still a hack, because you've pronounced him a hack, because JC would have kicked more if he played? Serious?
Why not just give a bloke a pat on the back, it ain't that hard.

My bad. Just got disappointed and annoyed with the hack calls before his game. Its fair to say most us us doubted him, except NSW of course. I was skeptical, but hopeful and supportive. He hasn't made it yet, but tremendous start. Also, tough fringe players are my favourite type of fringe player.
Kid won the Giants B&F in their first or second year, they offered him a contract but came to RFC, kid can play, he's no GAJ but he can play and is tough as nails. The way he leads that is instinctive, i think he looks somewhat like a natural forward.
Had an ordinary year last year obviously but he wasn't alone there!!! Lets see how he goes going forward, glad he got his chance.

I think the game has changed to the disadvantage of one dimensional talls, slow natural forwards and to the advantage of pressure/competitive flexible types.
Read that Menzel is struggling to get a gig at Cats next year because of poor pressure and tackle numbers.
Townsend might make a real go of that 6th forward position. One that has been rotated through Griff, Lennon, Soldo, Lloyd, Nank, Elton, Caddy etc.
Certainly gives us more grunt than most of the others. If he can play tall and kick the odd goal while providing pressure no reason it cant work. The other player who might be a candidate for that spot down the track might be Moore.
Townsend might be our Peter Welsh or Phil Baker from years past.

Menzel has still kicked a lot of goals this year.
The issue with him is most likely to be recurrence/degeneration in his knees. If Geleong are looking to off-load him it will be a longevity issue, not form or ability.
