Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2976265, member: 9052"] I think I'd probably have to agree here. To me the only area Kodi failed heading into the back end of the year was his defence when isolated on the edge. It's a serious deficiency but I think the lack of team line speed allowed him to be isolated too often. Against Kikau I don't recall him being beaten too often. He was providing some kicking, but milf was handling the bulk of that and quite well so not generally needed. He was also a serious weapon in attack with a number of long busts. If you put Bird in there I don't think he offers any kicking relief. I also don't think he's as evasive as Kodi... yes he's stronger but likely his show and go is not as effective. Also not sure he has any passing game to speak of whereas Kodi at least has that short passing game. All in all I think Kodi is starting to complement Milf reasonably well by providing good attacking relief and I don't think Milf is quite ready to handle that much pressure should Bird not be able to match what Kodi is providing in attack. Have to remember last preseason there was a world cup on, Milf was recovering from shoulder surgery, Kodi didn't return until late Jan/early Feb, Boyd was out of action, Macca was recovering from ACL and Bird was completely missing Not to mention Walters bailed 4 weeks into the season after being in charge of the attack. Hopefully we don't have the same issues this time round and the boys get a clean bill of health to hit the ground running in November [/QUOTE]
