It's much like feeding the chickens, isn't it Bullus?
:hihi
Perhaps they mean for HFF since we have George already as CHF? Then there's Butler, Baker and Stengle - Tom will just have to get in line and wait his turn. Hopefully he can find some form in the VFL and press for inclusion.
Lynch would take townso spot not George , you’re on the wrong tram there buddybullus_hit said:

What's "grumpy" about implying (that's a big word meaning suggesting) that GCS are not very good i.e. I expect MANY of our players will have a good game against them. Have you checked their results? Looked at the ladder? Seen their effort V Melbourne? If George cannot perform well, it would be far more of a concern, I'd suggest ... if that doesn't upset you too much.
But if I did upset you, hope you had a good cry. BTW, think you meant you're. ( A millennial by any chance?)

No, Buddy plays for the Swans, I'm not on a tram and if you think Towno's place in the team is cemented then you have not been paying much attention over 2017-18 seasons. I wouldn't be too certain of next week even, although we should be resting key players, and depends on what happens with Butler, Graham and Houli, so a good chance ... for now.
Lynch and JR8 = 2 x KPF = one less SF.
Wrong again Leonie. Your inability to read our players is funny.
Lynch takes Towna/Moore's role. No-one elses.
The three smalls are going nowhere, even if one of them plays tall. Our ability to pressure will not be compromised.

Now to you, Jazz. Never realised how patronising you can be. I didn't waste my time; you did because you just proved incapable of understanding my post. JC is not our CHF. Jack Riewoldt is. He's also our FF often. Plus he's our only current KPF ... because he's the virtual only non-midget since they decided to omit Cal Moore rather than persevere with him.
You should know that team's don't have players in fixed positions any more. It's continuous movement for attack and defence, rotating, changing match-ups. If the ball comes near you by air, you have to go. But watch closely. Our team kicks it to Jack most often. They will kick it to whoever's there if pressure's on and JC or anybody else is best/only target available. But JR8 is the best and most highly preferred target ... obviously. JC is just as likely to get in the way as actually hold the mark. Occasionally he will, like others. But that doesn't make anyone a CHF. We love it when the ball hits the ground so our SFs can take advantage. But there's still no better way to a definite goal than a I50 mark and accurate kick, as Jack proves every week.
JC can compete with anyone you like, doesn't make him a CHF. There are heaps of SFs who can take a great high mark, from Eddie Betts to Jamie Elliot. WCE have debuted two this year - Rioli and Ryan. But that doesn't make anyone a CHF.
Also, try not telling me what I admit! What arrogance. However, by contrast I'll just allow you to think whatever you like. I don't agree and I don't care what you or HDL think. In my world, JC will never be a CHF, just as Baker will never be although the club might name them there for the media. In my world, never a CHF. You're welcome to whatever you want to imagine.
Maybe if we do obtain Lynch for 2018, you'll figure it out. Or you could even ask yourself why we could want him?

Agree. Lynch an upgrade on Towner - and hopefully a repacement for jack in 3-4 years. By then Balta or Moore are ready to step up as tall forwards.
lukeanddad said:
no disrespect to Towner, but that is one hell of an upgrade. Thats like going from a middle seat at the back beside the dunnies to the big first-class mini bedroom seats with the cognac and the hand-churned gelati! I'll take it!

No he didn't save you anything. You were just incapable of constructing you own reply ... simply demonstrating again that's why I've chose the Hazy/Dazy part of your nickname. So, all you can come up with, all by yourself is, wait for it ..... " wrong. Again." I admit this is super mentally challenging to deal with!! I bet you starred in school debating with this level of argument and rebuttal: " I reckon what he, my team-mate, said, before me. And ... you're wrong!" That's unbeatable.
I think pea-brained is a more apt description for you, HDL. And to think I went easy on you because of how silly I thought your original post was when you espoused JC was 'our (invincible, unstoppable, peerless) CHF.' Thought you'd learnt your lesson after the "he's the key to our forward line" embarrassing debacle.
Looks like I just have to keep you accountable, HDL, make sure you don't get away with this level of nonsense. Let's just see JC can maintain his place in the side for finals. Not a certainty I'd say.

Wrong again.
Nobody is saying George is preferable to Lynch. Of course he isn’t. But he’s playing the tall forward role simply because of his unique athletic ability. He competes so well in the air and has the speed to disrupt the easy exit. He’s no Lynch and his role would change with Lynch in the side but I’d be surprised if he was dropped if we do get Lynch.
it would be interesting to see stats on defensive marks per opposition. Eg how many marks in Richmond's forward 50 by the opposition
We have a game style intent on creating a contest and bringing the ball to ground and Castagna, Towner and Caddy all play this role.
So I would guess that we would be outmarked the least, and i wonder which other sides do it well.

No, once again, your simple-mindedness is what's funny. Moore is not in the team, Townsend may not stay in. If we get Lynch, he or Jack will be our CHF. Not a midget. We will still most likely play 3 SFs, that doesn't guarantee Castagna is definitely one of them. Bolton, Stengle and Baker are all promising. We also go with a six-man FL against some opposition and in some circumstances. Cal Moore has a bigger future as a forward than Townsend or Castagna IMO.
