Fraser and the FFP

Post: # 739133Post CeilidhSaint »

Anyone care to give their thoughts on whether we could have played our current "Full Field Press" style of football if Fraser Gehrig was still playing?
Loved the way he went about it most of the time but his defensive pressure was just a ittle lacking.........

Gehrigs hands were buggered for the 2 or 3 years of his career, couldn't tackle, handball or mark above his head. So no

Well the crumbers at the foot of kosi and Roo are much more show of kicking goals because with those two you know you are always going to get a contest in the air.

Wasnt always the case with big fraze . Good on the lead but never burst open packs . Actually often chose not to fly in a pack situation.


Go Sainters !!!!!
