The issue I have is I wonder if he is playing how he is being told to? Is he being told to stay within the 50 m arc and be there to contest. He is doing that constantly and is ineffective at it as he just physically not the gorilla forward type. I find it hard to believe that he is being instructed to lead and present all the time and just refusing to do it. If he is then why has he not been dropped for refusing to follow coach's instructions?
Probably something like - keep their best defender occupied and bring the ball to ground.
I want to see him playing high CHF

Suggesting Max was told to let Zerk-Thatcher humiliate him is a bit much for even you two ideologues, isn't it?
Yes, because of course he plays differently every other week doesn't he. Every other game he dominates his opponent by leading into space constantly and never tries to play like a stay at home gorilla forward.
Either Ross wants him playing the stay at home forward or he has no control over what is happening on the field. Your choice.
Owens has been really disappointing this year. He doesn't get enough possessions.
In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there.

He plays high half forward but these days there are no set positions. I think Ross did say he was put into the midfield at stages. I don’t think he impacts enough given the ability he has.
