With the loss of Solly, we really lack a "hard man" to take it up to the likes of the scum.

Looking back over Sheedy's era, we have always had some tough bastard on the backline ready to jump in and serve it up. Rotten, Roger and Wally spring to mind.

In fact, Sheedy would not go into a final without a, dare I say it, hitman.

Who is going to fill that role I do not know. A certain degree of mongrel is required with a willingness to sacrifice a few weeks from time to time to make a point.

Perhaps Slatts!!
Too far for Baker now he's on to it, now he’s got it, OPEN GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dons are in front by one point at the 8 minute mark

Normally MJ would have been the guy.

What about team rules does this fly in the face of that???

Could Mal Michael be this "hitman." He certainly has the size which will intimidate alot of players.

He has size alright Rob, but does he have the big streak of mongrel you need to play the role???
Have a look at the players rockhole named, those blokes had opposition players shit-scared and looking over their shoulders all the time. I don't think MM has that scare factor.

You can shoot me down, but doesn't Fevola play better when he's been "intimidated"...

As for MJ. He didn't get near enough to the ball to intimidate anyone. Anyone know if he was carrying something?
