Mattner's Tackle

[liz]

Not sure about checking out their legs but they do have very different running styles.

[Go Swannies]

Cloning Marty into Heath is just one ID problem. It's the proliferation of Jude Boltons on the ground that's causing me difficulties. And a faux LRT.

[connolly]

Wubbish. Marty has a narrow head and runs bent. Reg has a block head and is not much of a runner.

One other big difference is that Mattner has very clean (or is it sticky) hands. A one touch player who almost always picks it up in one grab, runs in a crouch, low centre of gravity. In contrast Reg runs stiffer than a double scotch and sometimes taps, fumbles for so long that you can go the extortion stall order a pie, say hello to an old mate and get back to your seat, missed nothing, Reg is still trying to pick it up.

One of the best players i've ever seen for running flat out at the ball and scooping it up.

But then you probably don't check their legs the way Primmy does.

Got me there.

Doesn't one wear white boots, and the other one not?

I think it's more when they're on the spot/contesting marks/on the turf. You'd never see Mattner take off on one of his runs off half back and think it was Grundy, but I often get a little confused when it's in a pack situation. I can usually tell the difference, but the commentators especially have a LOT of trouble.

[Jewels]

I get confused with O'keefe and Jack - Both blonde, both wear number 5 and both have duck arses.

I second that. They are the pair I confuse most often on ground. Even though Ryno is taller and Jack quicker, they move with a quite similar gait

[Primmy]

Ah, but, Jacko runs low and Ryno runs tall. Yes similar gate but different shoulder levels.

Also Barlow(when playing) and C Bolton look unbelievebly similar. Commentators are always getting those 2 incorrect.

And not just commentators I must confess...

Goody Stella some time ago described Barlow to me as a mixture of Craig Bolton and Cameron Ling, not exactly the most flattering combination. She was tickled pink when a commentator made the same comparison during one of the games (last year?).

Now if only he could play like a combination of the two.......
