I don't know, when it comes to developing big full forwards we seem to have a pattern of failing miserably. For years I've thought that the selections just simply never developed up to expectations - Murphy, Tazza, Houghton, Connelly (I think his name was), Anthony, The Hamish, and countless ones that I've forgotten - but now I believe the problem is an in-house club one. Surely out of a dozen or so 'possibles' (over a number of years) at least one would've sparkled, but none have. Not one - and I don't see it with Tabs or The Ape either. Pretending that 'a few more years, some more opportunity' is going to pay off has a history of failure at our club, I can't see that changing at all.
I don't get it, all footballers (from the first moment they strap on a little pair of AusKick boots) like to kick goals. Every single one of them. The big ones aren't a rarity, there's plenty of them around - so where's the problem? You mark the ball, you go back and kick a goal - it's a simple as that. If you can't, or you need the help of psychologists, dieticians and an array of scientists - you're not in the game, you're trying to 'evolve' into something you're not.
From what I've seen only that kid Strnadica (on the rookie list) looks like filling the hole - you're wasting your time with the others.
