But in a situation where we're going to lose if we don't do something I can see that throwing a couple of people around to see if they can give us a spark is logical in principle.I'm dead set against putting Starc in the M/F at this stage.
He's just learning his craft where he is and plays a valuable role.
Let's see where he's at in a year or two.
Madden perhaps?
Lol.Maybe he should play more than 3 senior games in a code he has been playing for approx 3 years, before we thrown him in the middle.
Was more Madden back Starc middle if we are flirting with the idea of moving Starc to the middle.Maybe he should play more than 3 senior games in a code he has been playing for approx 3 years, before we thrown him in the middle.

Chol also has some very good pace, very goodI agree with your sentiments about Joe.
He's pretty useless at the centre bounce where he just goes up and then back down without providing much of a contest.
It seems that he is a willing participant in whatever capacity we choose to employ him but I firmly believe his energies are better directed to other areas , especially in the forward line. It would be a tragedy if he injured himself at some inconsequential ruck contest, especially when we seem to have got him up and running again after his spending years battling injury at Essendon
I'm not sure of his contract status but I'd like to see us make a play for Mabior Chol.
It looks like he is third banana behind Nankervis and Soldo at Richmond but his performance last night against Essendon, especially in the first half was top drawer.
He's a former Aspley, Brisbane Lions Academy and Lions Reserves NEAFL player.
Would be a big upgrade on Archie and also seriously challenge O for the No1 Ruck spot, while taking the pressure off Joe in that area of the ground.
Would not mind seeing Starc get a run in the mid. Same as Andrews forward
Might work although what are you loosing in return
Strac been very very good down back.
All the talk Fagan likes players who are versatile.
Joe and Oscar swap over although really only Ah Chee only one that goes forward or back.
our mids go to forward or bench.
When we getting killed in the centre would not mind just trying something new like Starc in the mid.
Seems Charlie does not want to go in their much
Saw Charlie at a couple.Saw Charlie in a centre bounce in the second half.
What positional changes did Melbourne make to turn their form around?
Doggies won the GF doing it...so not sure final umpiring differs from HnA.Good to see Dermie call out Oliver and the ridiculous amount throws he gets away with. I reckon he would have got away with 3 to 4 last night which were not even close to handballs and thats about his average every week. It's a real blight on the game and yet we have people lauding the dogs and the likes of Oliver for their great hands.
See if he gets away with in the finals when he has the best umpires watching.
When you have Gawn , Oliver and Petracca why would you need to change anything up just because you're losing. Brayshaw and Harmes aren't bad either.
The strong odds are they're going to come good at some point in the game.
I don't see anything we could've done to turn it around. They were too good ,we ran out of puff.
It's one game Bangy.Lol, that's your pep talk before the next time we play them?
Of course those players need skill.I reckon the whole "big bodied midfielder" is bollocks really. Our Brownlow medalist is a dwarf( a fricken awesome dwarf), but small.....but strong, quick, creative, etc. "big bodied" runs a very long second to skill. The reason Petracca, and Dusty are guns is because they're blessed with skill, strength, vision, awareness etc.
It's one game Bangy.
I think anyone in footy or on here is mature enough to know that.
They belted us after half time.
Unless you want to pretend it didn't happen.
As for next time we play them that's a brand new game isn't it.
Saw Charlie at a couple.
Yes you assume they changed something up as they where 20 points down.
Whatever they changed worked.
I do think we marked everything in the first half, tackled well maybe ran out of steam.
Dev Robertson isn’t really a big bodied mid.I was on this "Starce to the midfield" wagon last year but not anymore. I think he's settled in his current role now and doing a fantastic job. We'll be replacing Birchall and Rich (in the near future), so you want continuity from rest of the players in defense. Starce will need to stay there.
I'd say in Deven we already have the answer to that attacking big body mid. He has all the tools and doing more negative roles presently against Petracca / Oliver / Martin etc and matching up really well. He'll learn a lot this year and we will benefit from it even later this year or in 2022.
They didn’t make any personal changes, they just changed their game style. Goodwin said it in his presser.Saw Charlie in a centre bounce in the second half.
