Just like most other forwards do.plugger66 wrote:When will we learn. Kosi hasnt all of sudden improved. He will play an occasional good game and then many ordinary ones. last nights was a good game.
What he does do is compete every game and give us some structure, until we find someone else that can do that he is in our best 22.
He was at his best when forward though. Dont worry he has played many ordinary games when second ruckman. He is an average footballer now because of injuries received thoughout his career. Dont worry there will be another thread in a couple of weeks wanting Kosi dropped. By the way Kosi played second ruckman 2 games ago and didnt get a kick. That is the type of player he is.SainterK wrote:It just so happens that his good games coincide with being in the ruck more?plugger66 wrote:When will we learn. Kosi hasnt all of sudden improved.

I don't think it's a coincidence personally.

Start him at the centre bounce every game, he is a confidence player and I would much rather he contest in the ruck for his first touch than drop a mark or miss a goal.
I would like to see his TOG in the ruck last night compared to that of more recent memory.
Pretty sure Ben started in the ruck.SainterK wrote:Hardly in the ruck against Brisbane.plugger66 wrote:He was at his best when forward though.

2 games ago he played his first game of the year...no surprise he didnt set the world alight.plugger66 wrote:He was at his best when forward though.

He may have played well when going fwd but IMO he's a player that needs to be bought into the game and allowing him to ruck/drift fwd lets him do that.
He needs to back up for sure gonna be interesting watching.
“Yeah….nah””
Interestingly he seemed to have heaps of confidence last night, clean hands in marking.
His stints at FF must be in consideration of the opposition - sometimes it'll work others not. While we're a work in progress from a ruck perspective I'd like to see him given more time there.
Ben was great around the ground last night but crap at the bounces.

I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

The Brissy game was his second for the year. He had a reasonably good one for Sandy. What was different last night? Probably Carlton didn't care too much about him or had no match up. He had a good game and I hope he can do it week in week out.Teflon wrote:2 games ago he played his first game of the year...no surprise he didnt set the world alight.plugger66 wrote:He was at his best when forward though.

Old enough to repaint, but young enough to sell

His first AFL game? - I think most would acknowledge that its a different step up.Bernard Shakey wrote:The Brissy game was his second for the year. He had a reasonably good one for Sandy.

Maybe Carlton didnt care - who really knows, but playing like that and in ruck we need him....or its Blake. No thanks.

In my eyes, it's a week to week prospect. Let's just agree he played well this week, having had very few brownie points on the board, and he see how he goes against the Hawks' ruck stocks of Hale, Renouf and Roughead.
