Agree, Good player player can diversify their skills and playing positions.
Good AFL coaches can motivate bad players to give a new position a go.

Sorry, I'm not seeing the how that is like for like. That appears to be a rational decision based on form, but it's not replacing the lightning quick player with another. Would you care to try again. Are you a like for like enthusiast?

Is Picken likely to be on Betts tomorrow?

Or perhaps Smith.

No I'm not.
It was (one of) the moves I wanted.
I was making a (wrong) statement that he's played well up forward before.

His pace and pressure is vital in our forward line imo...leave him in if it aint broke dont *en fix it!

Sounds like Jared Petrenko
Charlie Cameron has 1000x more skill, not to mention the capacity to actually get fit…he will make it, awesome rookie draft selection.

I think we can all see that Cameron has a bit more natural ability than Petrenko, do you agree?
If Cameron is still performing this way in 4 years time you may be right. But until then he's still got a lot of promise for such an inexperienced player that is worth persisting with and giving him a little bit of slack.

Sure, but keeping him in just to provide pressure when he isn't finding the ball or kicking goals is still very Jared Petrenko. He needs a spell, he's gotten one.
So you don't take into account form when selecting a team. You'd select 22 players with defined physical attributes regardless of whether they're performing their role at a high enough level.
Sando has left a legacy.

What are you even on about, a poster was comparing Cameron to Petrenko and I pointed out that one has a bit more talent than the other...and tell me this sunshine what small forward are you planning to bring in for Cameron?

Lyons has done a good enough job rotating forward before. It's a change of structure, but Cameron simply wasn't playing well enough to retain his spot and it's certainly not a specialist 'like for like' position.

Hes a long term prospect with much upside and while we are winning and in form best to keep him in. The lad has a pretty damn good teacher in Betts and I just dont see the value in him running around in the SANFL

Last week he had 3 disposals, one was a goal, one was a turnover goal. That's just not enough value to keep him in the AFL side.

Yes he had a poor game but the conditions weren't exactly a small forwards dream out there

Yes,in your mind anyway

You're kidding right? Tall forwards can't mark in the wet, lots of scrabbled kicks forward from rain soaked congestion in the middle, those conditions suit nobody else on the ground better.

Rubbish, tall forwards can mark in the wet and congestion is not really beneficial to players that need space to impact a game
