...get in the ear of a current player.
Gehrig to Kosi for mine.
I remember when Fraser came back and Kosi said he told him he'd already 'marked' his new territory in the goal square... that seems like a lifetime ago now, and what Kosi needs some of that G-train swagger... and rage!

Showed attitude in round one, and came under fire (at least on here) for his bump.
Personally I think a suspension would be the least of the big guys problems right now, if it was up to me he would have full licence to play his instinctive angry game...
I'd tell him Roo's return is fast approaching, go throw his body around and intimidate the opposition to his hearts content, and to leave it up to the coach to worry about potential suspensions.
Compare him to any other big man in the comp as far as reckless bumping and head high contact goes (Buddy, Hille) and I think we judge him harshly.

May sound like a funny choice (especially given the injury news), but I would love to get Armo to spend some time with Robert Harvey (love anyone to spend time with Robert Harvey... but...).markp wrote:...get in the ear of a current player.

The difference between Armo and star calibre is getting to the second contest. Win the ball, handball, run. Do it all again.
Instead, he's Luke Ball light.
Tragic about the injury. IMO, early in the year, his game suffered a bit because the umps were working hard NOT to give the headbutting free kicks (ala Ball, Selwood). They've come back, and he's deafinately a lead-with-the-head midfielder.

For everyone else the question here is who from the 2004 list would you want to have a word or two with in our current list, and why....
Here's battye's original thread asking who you would pick to play;

Hamill, Max and Harvey all fit.
A really, really good team just became extraordinary.

On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'
