yes and its about fkn time. makes it so much easier for tippa, fantasia, stringer, smith et al
No one is not giving Stewart credit, apart from maybe the opposition. Being a 3rd tall is not degrading, all it means is the opposition have their 3rd best defender on him and more often than not he will torch them
I know what a third tall is.
Some are suggesting that Stewart is only performing because he’s getting the third best defender!
I think he is better than that and will only get better.
Yes and there was always space in front of them.
Totally agree. Stewart is turning out to be an absolute steal. Very good and only getting gooder!
They’re also starting deeper it seems.
I like that he’s multi-dimensional.
He can kick goals from a number of different ways which makes him a very tough match up.
He’s going to get gooder very fast.
Hooker not once deep back.
What a luxury if we don’t need to send him back. Kudos to Brown and Hartley’s games.

Interesting. That is a very different arrangement from what was originally proposed (essentially the previous proposal was long and thin and more or less matched the grassed area behind the Hangar).
Stewart was actually the one going back.
In the first qtr especially he was back there and it wasn’t for ruck duties.
So that is possesion only. Yeah, makes more sense. That actually makes me happy.
Don’t wanna jinx it but… curse of the #17 jumper could be over.
I think they have identified that we need more aerial strength back there and Stewart and Heppell were drifting back.
The coaches have been spruiking the adjustments over the preseason at it appears they have actually done it.
Only one game but it’s positive.
Lol at Collingwood
Was right behind that mark
A few Crows fans next to me were cursing
Plays the 3rd forward role brilliantly
Applies pressure
Keeps his feet
Good strong mark
Good at ground level
Leads with purpose
Good one on one
Kicks goals
If he continues will be able to move Hooker back
If he continues will be able to move Hooker back
You are a dill, aren’t you?
I’m a dill lol
I won’t be the only person calling for Hooker back if Stewart dominates up forward
