Plugger’s daughter and my daughter played in the same netball team. He is not as tall as me - I am 6’5, I would say from memory about 6’2, but he was a very solid unit, big strong hands. Nice bloke, a little quiet, good family man.
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Re: New Maximum(less) forward line ideas??
Plugger almost has no height - I am so aware of his intimidating presence ..he seems like a monster..the picture for ‘built like a brick shithouse’ entry has a picture of plugger in it- with missing tooth. Now I’m scared of netball.

Re: New Maximum(less) forward line ideas??
How about playing forward this would allow us to have guys marking targets with Van es he is elite in speed and his vertical is ridicules would be picked up the 3 forward which is not normally that big so at 197cm 98kg is a really handful. Resting ruck in Row and Campbell is a reall problem with member sharman gresh there is a really damaging HF line.
HF membery ,Sharman, Gresham
Van Es, Row/Campbell ,Higgins

Re: New Maximum(less) forward line ideas??
So we are chucking in a guy who hasn’t played a games, an 18yo drafted as a key defender
As the replacement key forward?!
I think Battle or Cordy or Marshall will play as a tall forward
Maybe Sharman?

Out of all the recruits we have got this season he is the only one who has the size and attributes to play at 197cm 98kg.
Plus I would not play him as a lone forward hence the reason why I suggested Row or Campbell to help out so Van es takes the 3 defender and being elite runner and a very high vertical is a great advantage plus with Marshall there to help as well.
Richmond Played josh Gibcus who was a guy who hasn't played a game and is a 18yo Key defender in 2022 who is smaller the van es at 196cm and lighter 87kg then Van es.
So yes I would play a 18 yo like windhager who played on some of the toughest mids in the comp or Owen who when played as a forward in 22 as a 18yo who did well against geelong with 2 goals on there big defenders and until got injured did a great job,or NWM who played as a 18yo on the wing at only 187cm and 79kg against some seasoned players.
If we had decided not to play these guys because they were 18yo with no games and in first year we wouldn't have seen what they could do.
I am not saying he players there all the time but try a few games there especially if we go small in the forward line and play Battle, Sharman, Membrey tallest is 193cm so van es would be a point of difference.

Re: New Maximum(less) forward line ideas??
I asked ChatGPT (The new artificial intelligence app which you can use for free) about Max King.
First I tried asking it about Stkilda.
It said,
St Kilda Football Club is an Australian professional football club based in Melbourne, Victoria. The club was founded in 1873 and plays in the Australian Football League (AFL). St Kilda has won one premiership (league championship) in its history, in 1966. The club is known for its strong fan base and has a long-standing rivalry with fellow Melbourne-based club Carlton.
I hope this information is helpful! If you have any other questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to ask.
Who should replace Max King at full-forward?

I recommend consulting with knowledgeable sources, such as team officials, coaches, or sports media, for the most up-to-date and accurate information on player movements and replacements within a sports team.
How about the members of Saintsational Fan forum?

Are Saints smart?
In general, it is not appropriate or fair to make assumptions about the intelligence or abilities of individuals based on their occupation, role, or title. Intelligence can take many forms and can be measured in a variety of ways, and it is important to recognize and respect the unique strengths and abilities of each individual.
So if Silicon Valley doesn't know, I'll have a go.

Re: New Maximum(less) forward line ideas??
I changed my mind (I can see you yawn..)
Jack Hayes
I reckon Hayes will be the guy they focus on as FF..which means less ruck emphasis for him
They might rotate a number of players through ruck to give Marshall a break.
So if you lot are at training, see if you can see drills that show this..
I base this off the little I read about Hayes playing for Woodsville-West Torrens or whatever its called over there.

Geezuz!
What a cluster of disappointment - a giant zit with three heads.
Then Membrey plus a decoy.
I am really concerned that Lyon, being human like the rest of us, won't wanna go with instincts in order to preserve himself a little from criticism that may come his way if we are say 0-5, by stating that it is all a group decision etc., Also concerned he won't tell Dougal Howard that he has to go forward, like it or not. I think Carlisle was like this in a way. He preferred to play back and got his wish granted. He was pretty good for a while too.

Re: New Maximum(less) forward line ideas??
Howard won’t be going anywhere near the forward line. Members and Sharman can play there with Marshall, and potentially Campbell dropping in when not rucking.shanegrambeau wrote: ↑Tue 20 Dec 2022 3:06pmOne month?remboy wrote: ↑Tue 20 Dec 2022 11:54amThe only problem with that is that Hayes probably won’t play the first month of the year.shanegrambeau wrote: ↑Tue 20 Dec 2022 11:06am I changed my mind (I can see you yawn..)

Or we could play Butler, Gresham, Higgins, Bytel and Byrnes and try for the smallest forward line of all time. It would confuse the hell out of the opposition.

Re: New Maximum(less) forward line ideas??
I often wonder this ..why not have a low-calorie forward line....one full of Paul Callerys..and grub the ball forward. I think it might work - for a quarter, before the oppo worked out that they just run their most agile mids through the back line and clean up.remboy wrote: ↑Tue 20 Dec 2022 4:17pmHoward won’t be going anywhere near the forward line.

Butler Higgo Gresh
Billings Steele Byrnes
?? Higgo can jump and mark in a contest. Steele once was a forward but Sharman could be CHF
Seriously, we are in trouble here..unless someone shines unexpectedly.
Maybe it is Membrey. I can't remember the last time was a true full-forward. Was he ever? Under Richo? When Bruce wasn't firing? (Which was often)
So we are praying on a miracle revelation (say Bytel/Byrnes become stars) or some seriously brilliant left-field ideas.

I read, but didn't gather the source at the time, that Hayes has been approved to step up his training, he has his sights set on round 1.
11 months instead of 12, isn't unheard of.

Re: New Maximum(less) forward line ideas??
I’m pretty sure Harvey and Goddard both came back in under 12 months. Might be different for mids though.

Re: New Maximum(less) forward line ideas??
Rhetorical
Is it a coincidence that when a player of good but not exceptional skills like Stengel when playing alongside big forwards that kicked some 130 goals themselves he suddenly shines as a revelation? Jack H should be so fortunate.
Another from hindsight Harry: if your side does not have more than one big capable forward, say like St Kilda, why would you think having a plethora of small scurrying forwards has any chance of success. See also Lions, Richmond. Swans can make it work because Heeney and that mouthy one are exceptional. Pies have biggish mobile forwards and excellent mids. I am not sure now - and accept this probably rationalisation - that Ratts was all that analytical. Or maybe his advisors fixated on forward entries - great set of numbers BR, don't understand the scoreboard.

Bloke has been a big size running machine for 3 years averaging 26 possessions in the SANFL. He'll be ready.
