Alright...the ansett cup is breathing down our necks and what I would like to know is whether you would like to see some players in positions they don't normally play in....I'm still thinking of some, but i'm curious as to whether some people believe other players may reach their full potential at another position.

Id like to see Aaron Lord given a role on the ball, rather than out of the forward pocket. Plus i hope they give all our young onballers such as Chance Bateman, Shane Tuck, Ries and Greene a run, i think we may need them at some stage in the year.

i have always thought that jon hay would make an exceptional full forward.... on the lead there would not be a single full back who would be able to keep up with him.....
plus he now has the strength to compete one out with most of the full backs around.
The only other move i would like to see is graham trialed as a permanent forward as he could then use his athletism to its best affect... just lacks the inches for a key defensive post.

I'd like to see Crawfs and Dutch spend more time warming the bench...... http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/tongue.gif
Gives other clubs more of a chance of matching up....

You never know glove....with the calibre and strength of our team this season, your wish may come true....why risk our key players if we're up by 10 goals??

Hay at CHF, Dutchman ruckroving in a Stynes/Moore type role.
Maybe Luke in a forward pocket? Hes quick and nimble plus ive never seem him down that close to goal. Why not for a quarter or a half. McPharlin on a wing could be interesting to with his height and pace. Like a latter day Gowers.

Grendel, I'm with you re Dutchie. His on ball work has been a revelation. I'd like to see Thommo play centre half forward. I'd like to see Lord do what Lord does best. Crumb and get loose in the forward line.
Croad at FF is worth a trial. I think I've said that somewhere else, and I'm not Robinson Crusoe there. The only argument against it is that we wouldn't see those withering runs out of the back line.
O'Farrell in the seniors would be a radical move.
