Makes absolute sense, Macrae although a great accumulator is left for dead at the stoppages in todays footy. That's the reason he was moved in the first place. Richards has all the tools to be an top onballer and its makes sense to try him there. Like it or not our midfield were beaten a lot last year even though we had Bont in career best form. Change is needed, doing the same will not provide the freshness and spark the team needs to rise up the ladder.Richards is one of the best rebounding defenders in the AFL and Macrae is a 3 time All Australian that was played out of position last season and it failed. Makes no sense to switch them around.
