If you want a coherent structure, yes.

Dalgleish is going OK - Doesn't read the ball as well as I would like, but if he can lock down on a player, and attack when necessary, then he should play senior footy in 2015.

I'm hoping it's more to do with him missing a big chunk of football last year. Hopefully with a few more games under his belt that part of his game will improve.

Have to agree with you both here. Saw some good signs in the GWS game that he was at least getting to the right positions to get the ball. Pre empting where the ball was was never his strong suit tbh

It was never a strength in his game. Pretty sure if you go back to the start of the thread you'll read that he tended to drift in games. Remember, a guy with top of the line elite pace and kicking fell all the way to the rookie draft so he had deficiencies.
He is definitely improving on game nous but it was never really a strength.

structures rely on flexibility.
were not talking about replacing 4 kpp's with 4 mids.
coherent structures will not become obscure.

your mind is about to be blown many times.

Wouldn't he be better on the wing?
Well it gets back to what Zephyr Effekt has been saying.
Players should be developed in a number of roles. Ken is developing the defensive nous so that he is a viable selection for both roles as a small defender.
His attributes are definitely suited to playing on a wing and, in time, he may find himself there but like so many of our players he's doing his apprenticeship in defence (probably to learn the defensive side of the game).

Sometimes a player is best suited to one position, and one position only. See Ekav, NOB,

Dalgleish has shown enough to suggest he can be an effective AFL player.
I know its only NAB cup BUT - what a great run and goal...!!!

He actually reminds me of Andy Lovett.

Thought it was actually a pretty stupid thing to do in the backline, 20cm shorter and its a mark to Lumumba 35 from goal, just came off for him.
