You'd have to wonder whether the failure of those players mentioned was more development or recruiting.
I have believed for a long time that development coach/team is every bit as important as the match day stuff. Also, it is much easier to develop in a strong side with a good culture than in a weak one - better physical and mental support on match day, on the training track and just around the club.

It the highest point of his jump, not the highest point of the ball trajectory.
And I will add that way too many Mark Of The Year contenders have gone to someone who took a chest mark speccy that could have been marked without the big leap and just by putting the arms up (easier said than done of course). I would like an analysis/estimation done of the highest marks taken - that is the ball caught at the highest point. Think Jezza on a ruckman's shoulders with his arms up.

Can't find a genuine key forward to keep the taller defenders honest?
Don't play one!

I know we have young and potentially lemmey who will fill that role but it always bothers me that teams always try to stick to the traditional setup.

100 years ago it seemed like a good idea so let's just copy that. Big chf. Big ff.

Why not run with 6 smalls? What have we got to lose?

Revolutionise the game. Just don't bomb it long

Weather forecast is for very wet, could aid us (hopefully)
