Can I suggest Motlop spend more time at VFL level learning the craft of small forward
can I also suggest Motlop spend more time at home looking at footage of good small forwards
Can I also suggest Motlop spends less time on his f@#$%^&^& podcast
Don't get me started on Motlop
Has literally done nothing for two years
How he gets picked every week is beyond me
The being young argument wore thin a long time ago
How would any young small forward go in our side?
Papley would be quicker and hussle to win the ball.
Rachele and Rankine would be quicker and bring some party tricks.
Lachie Schultz would be quicker and kick a goal or two
Liam Baker would be quicker and find a tackle or two and kick a goal
Bolton would be quicker and kick a goal or 3, and win a few midfield battles
Gresham, Butler and Higgins would be quicker and find a goal from a good tackle free
Charlie Cameron wiould be quicker and burn off opponents to score 3-5 goals
Weightman would be quicker, tackle harder adn snag a goal or two
Junior Rioli would be quicker, take a mark or two and klick a goal
Bedford would be quicker and kick a couple goals
Melb and Pies are loaded with faster smalls
Get the drift?
Motlop, Durdin, Owies and Fisher are not possessed with speed needed to survive in the AFL imo.
It has stood out since day 1.
Having said that Durdin did look bloody dangerous as a dfending small forward on day 1.
