God I can't wait until the grand final is over and we can start getting some real content in this thread

Geelongs arguably got the best small forwards behind Hawks and that did them well...

Having smalls is great but useless when your mids kick it forward the way Geelong did after half time.

That's true though I thought the Brisbane small forwards and hhfs won them the game.

Until we reach the surprise trade request for the year

You've been saying this quite a bit of late, I'm nervous...

Nah was their centre clearance work and defence, mostly starcevich that really won it for them. They were intercepting everything Geelong threw at them in the final quarter.

I don’t have any info. I’m just scarred from the ex Lachies of our club.

I bloody hope so

KPP get you into the top4. Small forwards win finals. Throw the kitchen sink at Bolton and Pickett

I would say it is simpler. Good forwards of any size win finals. Not rocket science. Daniher won the game last week.

The two teams left really only play 1 small forward. Two if you include Bailey for Brisbane, but he's really a midfielder who cheats forward. Campbell at Sydney similar but with less impact.

It's the medium forwards / mids who I think are the keys. Rayner, Ah Chee, Lohmann, Heeney, Warner, Parker, Hayward.

Many people just lump all the non-KPP into one group as "small forwards". But mediums need to be treated as a separate class, as they bring much more size and marking ability than smalls.

It's an area we lack, and I would not necessarily be drafting small forwards now that we are getting Bolton. Pickett obviously is a no brainer, but if we're going to the draft then I'm looking at Hamish Davis, Cooper Hynes, that kind of player. Martin if cheap is not the worst option if he can stay fit. He could produce what Ah Chee has done in the finals.

Took Kai Lohmann the pick before Johnson. Remember celebrating at the time because there was no way Johnson was gonna fall to us. But he's looked really good. Would almost prefer him over Johnson at this point.

Yes, Geelong's lack of quality talls really got found out tonight.

 

[sumavich]

We've only got 1 good small, Sonny.
And he's too old now

To me this is looking at the flashy stuff and missing the meat and bones. Good balance between talls and smalls allow for structural options and versatility. Sure, we can focus on the big plays and say Rayner won the lions the game, and in some ways he did, but the cats also couldn't move the ball past half forward in the third quarter because their tall forwards can't make a contest, making their smalls redundant.

Brisbane had a better team structurally and when the ball was dry they were the much better team. Cats did really well when it was slippery and the ball kept getting to their smalls.

Almost! Huge year coming from MJ. I think he’s gonna have a JT like breakout season

Don't shoot the messenger

Actually looked really good right before that foot injury. Just that Lohmann is also looking really good in a position we are so scarce in.

 

[Paracleet]

No it's fair to shoot the messenger in these circumstances.

I’m pretty sure Johnson will be a good player (brain fades not withstanding) but if I had choice I’m taking lohmann every day of the week
type of footballer you enjoy watching even as oppo fan
certainly helps his type player we need too

Your not bald are you?

Far from it. His hair just looks like straw.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Take this with a grain of salt..

No goals and 2 tackles today. He'll fit right in at Cockburn.

Imagine the melts giving up pick 10 and 800k for Brad Close.

You almost have to admire the account, so completely bold and able to been shown as complete rubbish within a fortnight.
