I want this bloke pushing forward, like Nas and Sinkers have been doing of late. If Arie could develop the tank, I'd love to see him stepping into Loris' boy's wing position in a couple of years.
Why?
Because we want our best kicks kicking it inside the forward 50.
(Or in Arie's case, kicking goals from inside the forward 65. )
It's Dave, man. Will you open up? I got the stuff with me! -------Who?
Dave, man. Open up ------------------------------------------ -----Dave???

Not sure Arie will ever be a key defender(?)
Hope not.
If he did, what a waste.

I don’t think he’ll ever be able to step into ‘my boy’s’
place in the ‘good looks & intellect’, categories tho’ Davey McN - fingers crossed he can develop into a winger who can defend & attack

Arie has lost 7kgs in the last couple of months and is working on his speed. Will take Bonners spot
That will be a good development position for him, hopefully at some point he has the game to fill a key defender role.
His defensive game cant be any worse than Bonners thats for sure. I havent seen an AFL player so averse to physical contact as Bonner for a long long time.
I think both Fiora and Savage were accused of the same thing.

I don’t about his time at Richmond where he first got the label… but Fiora to me routinely put his head over the ball and absolutely never lacked for courage.
I always considered him soft in the context that IMO he tended to fail to execute or influence the game under pressure which to me personally is the measure of toughness.
It’s why I rate Riewoldt and Harvey as the toughest. They won us games we should have lost

Wanna talk courage...Justin Koschitzke would look deep into the grill of a runaway Mack truck and take a mark into it face first.
