Kosi to the ruck, Pattison forward
At least while Gardi is out. Keeps Ross's beloved structure but allows Kosi a run around the ground with the more agile Patto able to create more frontal pressure.

I disagree if we are going into the finals with Kosi as our key forward we need to keep him there.dcstkfc wrote:At least while Gardi is out. Keeps Ross's beloved structure but allows Kosi a run around the ground with the more agile Patto able to create more frontal pressure.

That really is an indictment on Kosi.
No, as I said earier, with Goth out for 1-2 weeks, Rhys will come in play forward in rotation with Benny Mc and Kosi (those two to ruck) all three to share forward role!!!!!

Re: Kosi to the ruck, Pattison forward
no patto. keep structure. keep normal structure as is. kosi FF, roo CHF and mac in the ruck. when mac needs a rest - roo to FF. kosi to ruck and Rhys to HF.dcstkfc wrote:At least while Gardi is out.

patto and mac and kosi in the one team is too immobile for todays footy. patto should only be used as a 2nd tall/ruck. not a 3rd.

so if you do know what's happening, you are happy to tell North that Rhys is in the side?3:16 wrote:No, as I said earier, with Goth out for 1-2 weeks, Rhys will come in play forward in rotation with Benny Mc and Kosi (those two to ruck) all three to share forward role!!!!!
Or did they already know that???

Re: Kosi to the ruck, Pattison forward
To be fair to Pattison (and Kosi), if being agile were all that was required to be an effective tall/ruck, he'd be a star.rodgerfox wrote:Holy shiit.dcstkfc wrote:At least while Gardi is out.

Unfortunately for Patto, agility comes second to.... well.... everything else.

it does make you wonder tho, why did the club keep his re-signing secret for so long?SainterK wrote:He also said Kosi was gone, and had signed with the GCsaintspremiers wrote:so if you do know what's happening, you are happy to tell North that Rhys is in the side?3:16 wrote:No, as I said earier, with Goth out for 1-2 weeks, Rhys will come in play forward in rotation with Benny Mc and Kosi (those two to ruck) all three to share forward role!!!!!

i agree honestly what do some people expect from Kosi ?? as long as he presents and applys a physical presance then im fine with hime getting a gamestinger wrote:spert wrote:Dunno how Kosi is still getting a game -I can't believe he didn't do a lot better against the poor opposition last week, as it was his best chance to show us something.

Maybe I am expecting to much but kicking 15 goals in 13 games for a FF seems ordinary to me. Maybe he does present but it seems unbelievable that they have ignored him for 19 games now.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:i agree honestly what do some people expect from Kosi ?? as long as he presents and applys a physical presance then im fine with hime getting a gamestinger wrote:spert wrote:Dunno how Kosi is still getting a game -I can't believe he didn't do a lot better against the poor opposition last week, as it was his best chance to show us something.

Hate to say this but one thing I do agree with GT on is that Kossie is a ruckman who should pinch-hit up forward.
Personally he looks like a ruckman when he plays forward - I know he did well there last year & maybe Im having a case of short-term memory. However I think as Kossies matured his agilitys dropped off and hes become easier to nulify.
Id love to see Kossie thrown into the ruck with B-Mac this week and Rhys Stanley given another chance up forward. Rhys adds speed and supreme athletic ability - and Kossie adds strength and strong contested marking around the groud.

I'd say the lack of confidence he had for a while there probably affected both him, and then in turn, they may not have looked for him as much.plugger66 wrote:Maybe I am expecting to much but kicking 15 goals in 13 games for a FF seems ordinary to me.

The good thing is that now he is working hard, and providing leads, and I am sure they will soon look for him again very soon.
