You'ved Meatloafed my comments, Yeti, coincidence that 2 forwards who were made to take their big frames and play like midfielders buggered up a foot each? I think not.
Would Jeans have played Dunstall as a mid? Would Roos or the Saints coaches have played Plugger as a mid? No, because they wanted them to kick goals. So why are todays coaches trying to reinvent the wheel. Have they run out of ideas? Are they just pretenders? So many questions, and only 2 answers, No (twice), & Yes (twice).
If you are wanting to run forwards through the midfield, you do it with the likes of Walters, Balla's, Cammac or Switkovski.
