Surely Spalding an ex KP forward himself can see that this club is in dire need of one or two?????

Does someone at our club suffer from small man syndrome??

The game is moving away from talls. Its all about cramming as many midfielders as you can into the 22 and run, run, run.

Look at the draft just gone. There were 3 or 4 good young tall forwards available from WA and they were left on the table.

You guys might be ahead of the curve for a change.

No way is the game moving away from talls.
Talls these days have pace and can move around the ground like midfielders,they are worth there weight in gold.

The only reasons some talls may have been left in the draft is because the AFL clubs had there quota of talls they needed or those left over just werent rated by the clubs.

Sure you may not need as many talls in a WAFL team as an AFL team have but you still need your specialists key forwards/backs and in most cases they have height.

Well you just said it yourself, talls that can play in the midfield are sought after. Those that cant are not.

Mate they are still tall...6'4!
I didnt say they "can play in the midfield" i said they "can move around the ground like midfielders".

Anyway give me a tall KPP at CHF as opposed to a midfielder type that can run run run.

If that's what your going to wheel out every side will rest their good players and play ressies AND still with by a couple of goals.

Swans colts 2014 premiership side would give that side a run for its money or even roll you.

Your ressies are in for a mauling based on this league side. Play the colts up n work towards 2016.

That one is definitely not going to be the first line-up now - new players in the swap for Ugle can make a difference too

Ahh astro......there you go showing off your footy smarts again hey mate.
