Would be an odd move IMO.Anyone else got a weird suspicion he’s going to play forward?
yeah i think he willAnyone else got a weird suspicion he’s going to play forward?

I blurted out at the top of voice near the end as he turned it over ‘Not good enough Ned!’ then pulled my head in as I don’t usually blurt like that. He wasn’t either... and maybe isn’t... let’s see if he can prove us wrong... through a VFL stint... of many weeks.
I’m struggling to envisage the role he would excel in. I agree. I think he can football. Maybe the 80s era would’ve suited him more. I dunno.He can play! He's got something, just not there.

I thought he had a nose for goals so why would you thwart the one area he seems natural at?
Agreed. I was more disappointed by our senior players.Playing a very foreign role more out of necessity for our list. Ideally he hones is craft in the twos but we still need to blood these kids coming through and we will just need to cop some games like this from a lot of the young players. Short term pain for hopefully long term gain.

I think they see him more as a midfielder going forward as he has a decent tank. Despite his lack of composure by foot a few times he was a decent kick as a junior . Right now it is about working his defensive side. Long term I am sure if he makes it then it will be midfield. There is no doubt he felt the moment a few times under pressure last night.Necessity is what it has looked like to date. I'd say the only reason he is playing is the departure of McQuillan.
It's kind of like were looking for a Liam Baker for the sake of it. I really can't see the point.
BUT, I'm an advocate for maximising the use of available talent so I still give us credit for switching Cahill out of a role that he wasn't going to be playing in seniors any time soon.
On second thought, scratch this last bit.I can't say I've seen much (across the three games he's been used behind the ball) to suggest he should stay there. He has some smarts and can link up but is far from great by foot, and really isn't there physically to apply pressure, keep his feet or do much when inevitably in congestion at times.
But I also don't see the point of including him for round 1 and bailing this early. Give him a run at the position for a few weeks and reassess then.
