SchacheName me another key forward in the league who is in the team specifically as a negator.
I'll wait...
I tend to expect a bit more from a forward than "No goals and no assists. But his direct opponent decisively stopped Adelaide's attacks slightly less than usual."No real offence but have you ever played football or even a team game?
In no way was he terrible every time he was in the contest he made it at least 50/50 or had possession and gave us an advantage.
Himmelberg was quite bad. But still better than Fogarty's game tonight, and probably a good 40% of Fogarty's career.Was Himmelberg terrible??
Hopefully the 2017 version of Crouch.6 goals is usually not an honourable loss but against a good team like Brisbane thought it was that tonight. The lead up play always looks better if it finishes with a goal rather than a point so we probably were better than we looked. If those posters had been goals it’s a very different look to the game.
Brown is cooked, Rachelle is tiring and Himmelburg tried hard but was still ordinary, which is more of a problem than if he wasn’t trying. Hately is the new Crouch it seems.
He’s not a key forward Tex is and he took a key defenderName me another key forward in the league who is in the team specifically as a negator.

No Himmelberg was much, much worse than Fogarty. Completely uncompetitive. Soft. Inept. Poor positioning. Poor decisions. It was a master-class in how not to he a key forward.I tend to expect a bit more from a forward than "No goals and no assists. But his direct opponent decisively stopped Adelaide's attacks slightly less than usual."

But that's the point.The thing is... fog played on andrews who is a decent defender. We could drop him but the yo yo in and out shut doesn't help us long term. Give him 4 weeks and then put him in the 2s if he isn't up to it still which he prob won't be. Bigger issue for me is himmelberg who got the 3rd best defender and takes 3 marks...
Wow the apologists are out in force tonight.He’s not a key forward Tex is and he took a key defender
Nah Just have an understanding how people can play rolesWow the apologists are out in force tonight.
He's a forward, his job is to score.

Agree there, his disposals particularly in the 2nd quarter when we were on top were excellent. We tried him in the midfield a few years ago when he clearly didn't have the fitness level but he now seems to be getting to more contest so fitness has improved.Fogarty is a midfielder playing in a forwards body.
When given time and space he is excellent with the ball. Maybe, he could be dropped and and given a fitness program that could eventually put him around the midfield and he is placed as a big bodied mid in the Sanfl. He is an excellent user of the ball and a very skillful player. I just dont think he is a genuine big bodied forward.
Hold on, who is Wet
McAdam had three goals. Tex had five scoring shots. Even McHenry, who people say doesn't kick enough goals, had two tonightEvery single forward that we've played all year has been shit.
It's def the forwards.
Elliott Himmelberg
He negates his own team
Why should you care?Why should people engage in your demented strawmen?
No way, Himmelberg was completely ineffective on their 3rd defender and hopeless in Ruck. You would start with TT as deep forward with McAdam and McHenry the Walker, FOG and Rachelle/Newchurch with Rowe work through. Both Rachelle and Rowe showed impacted the game more than McHenryI tend to expect a bit more from a forward than "No goals and no assists.

You don’t rate Andrews?McAdam had three goals. Tex had five scoring shots. Even McHenry, who people say doesn't kick enough goals, had two tonight
But nah, it's never Fog's fault
Why should you care?
