Player Watch #30: Charlie Comben

I agree that he looks better as a defender, however our forward line was a mess until he went forward and freed up Larkey. Ideally we'd have one of him at both ends. And whilst he was looking good in defense we were leaking goals at an alarming rate. We performed significantly better on the scoreboard after he went forward.

You could say the same about Majak but after gaining confidence in defence, he kicked 9 goals in 10 quarters. He will end up forward and do well if he keeps applying himself.

It’s rare that I disagree with you OF, but IMO Chom has never looked like a potential elite CHF, albeit talented and athletic. Even at only two games in, he does look like a potentially elite KPD and I’d much rather address the imbalance in other ways at this point.
As soon as the third started I thought oh f*** I manifested this.
 
And cos he's actually a talented footballer, and younger and better looking.
..and mates with Joel Crocker.

At some point this year we will have Comben, Dawson and Logue in the back line. That’s starting to look reasonable.
With Will Dawson coming through. Four tall defenders, but only one tall forward. [edit: who is poor overhead]
