If you have 22 talls, with some that can move like Cripps, McKay and Charlie when they are in form, it's not going to be an issue.

I think the idea you can have too many of one type is highly over-rated, Leigh Matthews said he want a team of 22 Koutafides yet Kouta had some significant deficiencies in parts of his a game.

Horses for courses is a much better policy, with form based selection taking priority over a type!

Formulaic selection and coaching is a long term tactical dead end, it's what brought MM undone! No matter how good your plan, if the opposition know it they will bring you undone!

Yep form is a good guide but class is permanent.   You can from chocolates to boiled lollies all in one game and vice versa.

For reference see fevola when he got stuck on 99. He started the game with 92 goals, had 5 or so shots before half time to convert once, then kicked 6 in the second half.

Eleven shots at goal is good form, whether you are kicking straight or not makes no difference.

I suppose that tells you it's possible to be in good form and still play bad football, perhaps that was the point some had made about Charlie having a midfielder type work rate despite some poor returns.

The point is fevola who is one of the games best ever forwards had weitering form all in one match.

Sometimes players can play through a form slump and be more valuable than others who are in cherry ripe form.

For reference see fevola when he got stuck on 99.

With 6 / 6 /6 Fev would have got the ton that day.  Very hard to forgive Sniper Clarkson for his actions that day.  Hawthorn players were embarrassed to follow his orders.

Too tall and too slow.
