He’s an AA defender and finished 4th in our BnF as a midfielder last year. He’s obviously got limitations but I don’t think blanket statements like he’s too small to play x position are fair when he’s literally played those positions successfully.
The coaches these days have every stat in the book. If they are not getting games there are reasons for it. I think he will keep CD yet do believe the game has changed so much that its hard to find a spot for either of them.
A shakeup was needed and if that means a few regulars with limitations are left out so be it. Fight your way back in.
His days of AA defender are long gone, the coaches are too smart for that these days. He cant start centre bounce his clearance numbers are abysmal. Once the ball is turned over he is out of the contest in about a step or two (same as Macrae). In this flood back, goals from turnovers game at the moment, you can't carry them.He’s a utility, id start him mainly high half forward but he can play anywhere and clearly needs to be in the side & id think will be. If Dale misses CD is my go to down back, Bramble isn’t a replacement for Dale he should be a replacement for JJ/Red or in addition to those guys.
