No point in having terrific leg speed if you can't tackle and/or get the aggot. His tackles stick, and hits the scoreboard. Deserves a go. Quote Selected 2 Likes

He's an honest trier who can't do much. It's like owies with less tricks.I beg to differ Thry.Fogarty is a midfielder who can go forward. He’s good in traffic and generally manages to get his kick away and hit a target. He may not be as effective a forward as Owies but he has a more expansive bag of tricks. Owies reads the play well, makes good position and generally finishes well. Fogarty wins his own ball and creates opportunities for his teammates.I think that Fogarty would take Fish’s spot if any. We would lose some speed but Fish didn’t put his jets to good use on Thursday. Quote Selected 1 Likes

He's an honest trier who can't do much. It's like owies with less tricks. I remember commenting several years ago about Fogarty's inability to kick further than 35 to 40 metres at best and how that meant he had to bomb the ball on to the heads of our forwards.Has his distance kicking improved since then?

Fish was very effective against North and got plenty of the ball to go with his defensive efforts. Against Adelaide, Fish was ineffective; he didn’t pressure the ball carrier, he didn’t get in positions to intercept or block leads, he didn’t pick up loose players, he didn’t make up enough ground to cover for teammates who were out of position, but he did spend a lot of time running behind opposition ball carriers.Not that he was Robinson Crusoe … Quote Selected 1 Likes

Carroll has a long way to go to get close to the footy Fogarty produced on Friday. He really should be demanding a spot in the 22 by dominating in the magoos. Quote Selected 1 Likes
