In the sport of Australian rules football, a "key position player" refers to players that play in the main forward or defenisve roles. These make up what is known as the "spine" of a team. Key positions on an Australian rules field are usually deemed to be centre half-forward, full-forward, centre half-back and full-back.
Key position players (KPPs) are usually tall and strongly built. Some KPPs include Wayne Carey, Matthew Scarlett, Barry Hall and Glen Jakovich.
Famous quotes containing the words key and/or position:
“I cannot tell what I am as much afraid of, as a woman who invariably washes on Monday. It is a kind of key to character; and if her mouth is not puckered and her brow wrinkled, they will be, unless she repents.”
—Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
“People who are in a fortunate position always attribute virtue to what makes them so happy.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
