OK great now that I have your attention -
With 9 rounds left in our fixture....what do you want to see on or and off field for the remainder of the season?
Off Field - See the year out with Noble...then use the beginning of the off-season to make a sound judgement on what's next.
- There's other things I could mention but I won't bother.
On Field - (Not that any these will happen)
- I want Powell playing in Scott's position. I think that allows him to gather more ball and get into the game more. His positioning, vision are his strengths and I think for now that's where he can help the team most. A bigger role in the midfield will come in time. Scotts been good this year but I'd move him up to the wing.
- Ben McKay
to play CHF or FF......Do it!..... He played both Defence and Forward as a junior and at U18's. Arguably played his best footy forward. I don't expect to him to replicate what his brother Harry does at Carlton but I think he could do really well. Plus it helps Zurhaar & Larky who'd no longer be the main targets in the forward line.
Some might say taking our best defender and most important player out of defence is stupid but we're getting slaughtered every week and not kicking enough goals as it is.
- Ziebell continues playing forward but with more midfield time.
- Goldstein playing mainly as a defender and pinch hitting in the ruck. There's zero evidence that can he play can as a defender but with his motor, decision making and skills I think he can be a solid contributor. If Ben McEvoy
(Hawthorn) can play defence why not Goldstein.
He isn't slowing down and if he was playing his usual ruckman role he'd still be in the top 3-4 ruckman in the comp. More importantly Goldy wants to stay so lets facilitate something that allows that and that he can continue contributing to the team. I don't particularly rate Xerri (Horrible ****ing name too....sorry) but he works hard and the club has anointed him as the next ruckman moving forward.
