What im hearing is Mitch has been told by the coaching team they are looking to develop him to the wing and play an outside transition role.

They have even questioned him a little on his confidence on half back
He mentioned in his interview that he was happy to play anywhere as needed - forward, wing or half back.
 
Seems like he'll be a cross between brett burton and tom lynch (both good runners, both medium forwards, Burton more athletic, lynch better skills and decision making, Marsh has a bit more athleticism than lynch but not as much as Burton but he has better kicking and decision making than burton) and probably play a role that'll be a cross between theirs as well.

Wonder if we’re looking to play him on the wing so we don’t lose that marking power that Curtin gives us, when Curtin inevitably makes the move to the middle.
If we had both Marsh & Curtin on wings, gives us serious marking power.
 
Reckon Dan might be earmarked for a bit more centre square work
I agree.

Imo, we should be playing many of our midfielders inside/outside & also forward.

Plenty of rotations with the extra player on the bench.

I feel some Rozee vibes actually.. needs more confidence but that will come. Was my favourite pick at 16, I am such a happy camper

This could work very well, we have a lot of players with different attributes that can run through the middle, imagine opposition teams trying to figure it out if our lads are changing from HB, HF and wings, would be a nightmare. Just need to empower some of the lads to make the change up calls on the fly as the game unfolds.

Wing I can understand, but we we’ve got 2 high draftees playing half back who can’t get a game, one of them drafted as a mid. So why the hell would we want to turn him into a half back? **** we are dumb sometimes.
 
Like I've said previously he plays like a modern day tall winger to me, big tank, decent pace and a booming kick. Patrolling between the arcs able to be used in both defensive and attacking transition.

I'm pretty sure the players are trained to give this response to the "where would you like to play?" question.

They all say it.

But it's also a pragmatic answer. A prospects best position is the one that gets them gametime at AFL.

Yup I’m sure Eddie Betts would say “ruck” if the club told him to say it

Almost every interview has the same "canned" responses these days ......only the player names change

Most interviews are not worth listening too .....they're all tightly scripted

Edwards is playing half back because he can’t get near our midfield.

Marsh they’ve talked about as a wing, not centre mid.
