Centre half-forward
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Australian rules football, the centre half-forward is a position on the half-forward line of a football field.
The centre half-forward's role is usually the most demanding of any player on field, with a tall frame, strength and most importantly, athleticism, required.
If a team in the AFL played without a good centre half forward then they would often struggle to win games and make an impact on the competition. Great Centre half forwards have the ability to turn games on their heads and potentially win a match single handedly for their team.
Widely regarded as the three best centre half-forwards ever to play the game were Wayne Carey, Dermott Brereton and Royce Hart. Current notable centre half-forwards include Nick Riewoldt, Warren Tredrea, Barry Hall Jonathan Brown and Matthew Pavlich.
