Subject: quick wings are so 80s and 90s...
In reply to: Rocket surgeon 's message, "I'm seeing the starting AFL quite a bit differently" on 21:14 15/12/24 Sun

its not the attacking position it used to be...Wingers used to be lighning quick - Barham, Wright, Millane....

now the major criteria is a huge tank, good smarts and the ability to run both ways. Our premiership wingers in Sidey and Josh Daicos arent quick

My reluctance to play Sidey on the wing in 2025 is his terrible form there this year. He was awful on the wing, and his footy only picked up when played in the middle...

I sort of agree with both Rocket and Mark here but... -- colligwoodjo, 09:41 16/12/24 Mon
- FWIW here' my preferred starting 18 -- Rocket surgeon, 10:46 16/12/24 Mon
  - You would think Perryman is likely to start. -- Josh, 10:59 16/12/24 Mon
    - Reckon Perryman and Crisp are center square mid rotations for us. -- collingwoodj, 11:16 16/12/24 Mon
      - Crispy mostly a winger in the gf. And just about best on ground. -- barcode, 16:47 17/12/24 Tue
        Like those wings (NT) -- Flumpus, 18:34 18/12/24 Wed
        He was 71 percent defensive half and got most of his footy across HB -- collingwoodj, 13:06 21/12/24 Sat
        Crisp moved to half back after quarter time to replace Murphy, mentioned it -- Optimax, 15:38 21/12/24 Sat
        The coverage of the game mentioned markov went to half back rotation after QT (NT) -- Jen2310, 22:47 21/12/24 Sat
  - yeah but I expect that is becuase if you have 25 - 30 hardened AFL players... -- collingwoodj, 11:15 16/12/24 Mon
Not expecting Mick Turner and Ricky Barham on the wings -- Rocket surgeon, 10:16 16/12/24 Mon
- Crisp seems such a natural obvious choice to play wing for us in 2025 (NT) -- Harry, 13:21 16/12/24 Mon
It is until a savvy coach tries it again and wins a flag then it will be in again. -- Rodda83, 20:18 16/12/24 Mon
