It's a player comparison between Blake Acres and Mitchito Owens I think

Didn’t think that it was all that confusing…

“You take it personally”: Criticism of Saints a key factor in Hayes’ homecoming

“I guess that was part of my motivation to get back involved in footy.”

Love the spice at the end..."You're a smart man, I'm sure you can work it out."

They've got Phillipou listed at 190cm-89kg, reckon we go with him then, over Owens. More talented & doesn't mind tackling also.

play them both

 

[FQFjt]

This is so good. He could be such a weapon off half back.

Mitch would be a good 192cm now plus close to 90kg!!

If you are including Neale (who is a ruck)

While you have him as a ruck, the Cats are seeing him as a key forward.

From the Geelong FC Website:

As Tom Hawkins works through his rehab following off-season foot surgery, young key forward Shannon Neale is embracing the opportunity to get more experience alongside premiership forwards during the pre-season.

Young Cats Embracing Opportunities

Shannon Neale is making the most of extra exposure with premiership forwards as young Cats continue to embrace new challenges

www.geelongcats.com.au

and foster from the cats,

You mean this guy? The young recruit the Cats describe as a key forward?

the saints also have Matt Allison (195cm), Mason Wood (193cm).

My point is we have options up forward. I'd even like to see Owens at CHF/FF

Well that may be your point, but I never said that we do not have options up forward as we clearly do.

What I have said is that I believe that we lack one more genuine tall key forward on our list.

 

[stfan]

His body looks a lot more AFL ready now.

Phillipou is possibly 192cm, also

Looks that way, yep.

You know what was the best thing though about that clip? It was the Cordmeister making the clinches look so, sooo easy. You can see the realization in the envious stares of Van Ens & Eyre as they both realise their position in the pecking order.

Van Es and Eyre are bloody decent-sized lads… Pleasing.

Van Es up close… is big and he is very athletic.

I reckon he could have the body from next year to play key back week in and out if form permits.

I don't think the use of the word pegged is a happy coincidence either, and provides added context for the facial expression.

 

[hayes]

Interesting to hear Lenny suggest on SEN this afternoon that Mitch Owens may chop out in the ruck while Hayes is injured. Suggested a similar role to that of Shaun Grigg in 2017 at Richmond.

Rapt to hear this. People still overrate the importance of 5 mins of ruck work per quarter, it’s not that important. Rather another ground level player than a plodder.

You are actually funny these days CF, who would've thought hanging around genuinely funny people like myself would pay off??

Decent idea until you get a big oaf like Nankervis run through/knee a part timer like Chito
