            • Coryn, spot on. Absolutely on the money. That’s exactly what Ryles will be looking for in the trials.

              Just one caveat: smaller spine players, and generals, with strong footy IQ might not jump off the page athletically or physically but are hyper-critical. They might need protectors. They're probably at their best late 20s-to mid 30s, a bit bulkier and mentally mature, when their muscle mass and bone density is at its peak, despite dropping off in fast-twitch acceleration and explosiveness. 

              You can get that good balance elsewhere with older players like Dylan Walker. He can handle the physicality in the middle but has good footy IQ. Even the Fox has good footy IQ for a winger, communicates on-field, and has helped Sean Russell.

              • yeh, that point Coryn made about competitiveness...... noted Lincoln Fletcher beat Smith in the Bronco's run the other day (TCT) and that smacks of it, Smith doesn't lose much!

                • "Bronco's run" ...???
