Talk on the national game

I think one of the problems with Fogarty is all the outside noise about him, I heard Ricciuto earlier this year talking about how big guys take longer to develop.

He's soon to be 26, came into the league as a man child and is a generously listed 192cm. He's not a big man that needs time to grow into his body.

I still think he carries too much weight, his lateral movement is next to zero. Ideally he'd be a lead up forward but with his lack of reach the big defenders will get spoils in a lot of the time.

He's a very handy Robin, provided your Batman is flying.

The second tall is a tough gig especially if you're not a second ruck like say Chol, you'd almost rather be a small than the second tall.

His stats ( yes, Marshall injured ) are very similar to Marshall, Mihocek, Treacy, Zurhaar ( the ones I've looked at ) as I couldn't think of too many more true second talls.

Career averages for kicks / marks / touches / goals

Fogarty 6,4,10,1
Marshall 7,4,9,1
Mihocek 7,4,10,1
Treacy 6,4,10,1
Zurhaar 7,3,12,1
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Life might just get tougher for the Fog when he comes become the genuine second tall and starts getting the second best defender each week.

I think Korn might be right

The crows need a gun midfielder, do they have a crack at Petracca?
