Sunday Footy: R9

Goodes won a brownlow in the ruck. Roughead hasn't played KPD since he was 19. I don't think it's an unreasonable claim when the sample of Roughead playing KPD relies on a small portion when he was young and less developed and thus also relies on the premise that he'd have improved with age.

 

North !!!!!!!!!!

Was jumping around going nuts with my mate in the lounge room, best moment.

 

I actually feel awful that we won that.

 

I agree - I'd prefer Roughead down forward and down back. I'd prefer Goodes as a pure midfielder so it's 2/1 in roughead's favour.

I do feel Goodes would be more capable in a small forward/flanker sort of role but I guess by extension Roughead might be able to handle smaller forwards (while in defence) better.

That said - I think both are very equal in the ruck. They're not great at the tap for obvious reasons but provide a lot around the ground and in the contest. Give Goodes a pre season to prepare for rucking and I'd expect them to perform equally.

 

I was actually going to make a thread about him (but instead decided I'm going to make one thread tonight for me to post all the shit i want to make threads about but aren't worthy of it)

Taylor's clearly better but Johnson is a pretty unique player. Really rate him.
