You know what - maybe one's enough.Can we clone him?
Can we clone him?
Oh captain, my captain, may the wind be in your sailsHad a sneaky $10 on Charlie to kick 5. Pray for me brothers and sisters.
Christ alive we might have a live one here.
Wil Dawson is his cloneWe need to clone him.
Whilst his first half was awesome, we massively missed his intercept marks, particularly where he chops them off about 70 out from the oppo goal up the wing.
Clarko tried to employ Jackson in the role, but it didn't quite come off.
We should be targeting a forward, not a defender at the end of the year.
He's still a better defender.

I would add a quantifier to this,He's still a better defender.
I would add a quantifier to this,
He is a better defender, on exposed form.
I'm interested to see him get a string of games to see what he has learnt from being a defender and how he translates it forward. a single game isn't enough to make that call.
That could be the next step in the evolution of the team. We seem to be adding layers slowly.Can’t we just keep swinging him if there’s a momentum change?? Thought yesterday might have been good to see that
I'm in the minority with this view clearly;
But an elite intercepting CHB with modern game plans is far more important than a second tall forward that kicks even 40-50 goals a season, or even more.
So much scoring is generated and prevented from them and they are absolutely priceless.
Comben's intercept stats are not normal and not even replaceable more than likely.
Teams spend years and years looking for a key defender that can intercept like Lever, Moore, Andrews and Taylor. Comben is on that tier.
That level of defender almost always correlates with teams that win Premierships and/or come very close.
Think Rance, Scarlett, Harry Taylor, Brian Lake etc.
Very rarely is an elite defender playing in a terrible side, they propel their sides up the ladder, quickly.
There's plenty of elite forwards playing in shit sides in history, look at Larkey....
No current season stats available
There's potential that we're not just talking about a 40-50 goal second tall forward. If he's going to kick straight then he could be a dominant force as a key forward. I think that's worth exploring.I'm in the minority with this view clearly;
