Barry Hall and Leo Barry should just camp out at opposite ends of the ground and take on all comers. Actually we've got a @@@@load of descent forwards so I reckon Hall should go into defense where he could be truly scary. He spent most of last year getting in everyones way.

Okay. I haven't really thought this through (but since when does that matter) but seeing as Roos is a fan of basketball what about a Zone defence instead of man-on-man?. Our defenders have a good closing speed on most opposition, mainly due to not being gorillas. I s'pose it would take a lot more training for that to work. It obviously wouldn't work all the time, especially against highly skilled teams. Any way just a thought."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!."

All teams do a variation on the zone defence in that they have players drop back into a space . Zoning being the covering of a space rather than a person. Bevan's job was/is to block the space in front of leading forwards i.e. sacrificial lamb and he also does a lot of work blocking the centre defensive area.
So basically we have a combination of the 2 defences.
All teams would be asking the same questions as regards the power forwards. Leo was a fantastic option even though shorter and lighter he was quick and boy could he jump.
Watched a 2004 game the other night and it was easy to see that father time has caught up a bit(she shakes her fist at the old Bastard).. As with other teams it is a case of who can we use who will win some one-on-one contests as there will be no-one who will win them all.
I'm thinking Peter Faulks.
