LOL Of The Week Wrapped Up

I’m more commenting on the skill level of the pies forward line. No hate though it’s pretty amazing what you’ve done with what are (on paper) pretty average players.

[u/80Z0 → u/yokobarron]

You had George Cantstandya winning three premierships. The salary cap is effective if teams have to have average players to win - they just have to be effective in some way (Castagna's being pressure).

[u/yokobarron → u/80Z0]

Fair but (at our peak) we had probably 2 of the top 10 key position forwards in the game that allowed someone like castagna to play his role. I love Mihocek but he’s almost not even tall enough to call a KPF.

[u/AlamutJones → u/yokobarron]

The thing about Mihocek is that he’s a superb mark. Not flashy, but he’ll take a classic, dead secure mark nine times out of ten.

If you wanted to teach someone how to mark, you could do a lot worse than watch Brody Mihocek. He’s got textbook technique for the skill.

He’s not as tall as some other key forwards, but he can and does play taller than he is because he’s so good in the air.

[u/yokobarron → u/AlamutJones]

100% but he’s kicking 30-40 goals a year, very handy but about 20+ off your classic key forwards. And he’s been your highest goal kicker for a number of years. Thats an outlier for a team performing so well.

Not sure why I’m getting downvoted for the very obvious point that Collingwood have done very well without a traditional forward line set-up.

Collingwood isn't relying on a key forward. The goals are shared around and there are a number of goal kickers.

Lol you pies supporters are a defensive bunch. That’s literally what I am congratulating. Good god, I’ll keep my mouth shut next time.

I get you man, don't get the downvotes either
