Wow - far too tall in my view.

Will be interesting to see if we can match the Suns at ground level

They're light on for tall defenders. 2 are very good but they drop away after that.
Perhaps that's our plan.

Too tall. Will get killed when ball hits the ground. Delivery inside 50 needs to be in point to make height advantage count.

we seem to have persisted for 3 years playing tall & slow ... and it's never panned out.

If your plan is to bomb it long to a contest, you need talls to implement it.
If they don't mark it, it looks bad.

If your plan is to run the ball to the f50 and then pass it to a one on one tall contest or to a leading tall forward, it is probably better.

The main issue is whether they get in each other's way.

Will we get it there enough and if we do how efficient will we be?

I think we’re too tall, but would playing SOJ or Kennedy make us any quicker? With Cunningham still out, what options do we have in reserve? Polson & Garlett aren’t very inspiring options.

The MC are obviously putting its eggs in the marking forwards basket. We would be much better balanced if McKay could play 2nd ruck but the club has obviously decided he is not ready for that role and want to keep him forward. Hence why Levi gets a game.

We are tall but i think charlie and gov are quite agile and don't play like traditional talls

Our talls are all good marks however can we deliver the ball to their advantage???

Talls are only good if we give them the best chance to mark.

Need to keep the tall forwards seperated and honour leads. Big issue of course is when we don't mark it they'll waltz it out. We do look way too tall.

First entry, they get in each other's way. They have to overcome that or it's a hopeless situation.
WEll done Fisher.

That's an example of why we should still hug the boundary.
