I prefer specialist KP forwards rather than manufactured ones...we need to recruit a young KP who is a good kick at U18 level and doesn't need remedial work.
Brendon Fevola comes to mind...we don't have that player like a Fevola, Gunston, Elliott, Robbie Gray who can kick that set shot match winner in the final seconds under pressure.

Cooper Lord, who’d been in stellar VFL form, was held out of the twos over the weekend due to the Hewett injury and looms as a reinforcement if the on-baller doesn’t get up.

And another thread bites the dust.  

It's a fruitless argument that is dominating many threads.
The same things are being written time after time.
Yet I doubt one mind has been changed.

And in twelve months from now the whole thing will just be another sad chapter in our 21st century history.
We'll have no doubt moved on next year to a new crisis or new beginnings.
People have had their say, it's on the record.
It'll still be here as long as the site exists in it's present form.
But I doubt anyone will look back more than a few pages on any thread they engage with.

At the very least, can posters please try and confine the Voss/Fraser discussion to the relevant coach thread.

Does anyone know why Cooper Lord didn't play VFL on the weekend?
He wasn't on the injury list pre-game.
Was he injured just before the game.
Were the concerns over Hewett's back a reason to hold him back, seems a bit extreme....could have played half  game if not injured.

All our forwards need to sharpen up their goal kicking - Byrne and Ison have sprayed important kicks and Harry's goal kicking issues are an established fact.

And missing a relatively easy kick for goal can sap team confidence, particularly when players have worked hard to create the opportunity.

Kemp was named full forward in the 2019 Under 18 All Australian team.  You could say that we're finally playing him in his best position.
