Why not play Setanta at FB and Hartlett at CHB. I just don't understand the logic of Waite down Back. Jarrod is a player capable of kicking between 35 - 50 goals a year.

He's also capable of preventing 35-50 goals a year, which is more important to us at the moment.

waite is more important up forward
we cant win games if we dont kick goals
we can stretch oppositions defence if we have
fisher fev kreuzer and waite all up forward

He's needed down back. Currently our defence leaks more than Kane Johnson on a police station on his way home from his 30th b'day.

My backline would be (if anybody really cares)

When/If Fit
Half Back - Scotland Jamison Walker
Full Back - Thorntan O'Hailpin Simpson

Throw in the mix Anderson as well.

Why not chuck all the dangerous people up forward.

Interesting choice for bp ! Rather than chucking all the dangerous people up forward , teach them ALL to be accountable and versatile . This could diminish our predictability . Just another thought .

Think it's time to change the thread name, don't you think?

Kreuzer showed very little when playing forward pre season.

His best form was when rucking in the praccy match v the dogs, and does not play like a natural fwd. From the limited times I saw him play TAC his forward work was based mainly on outsizing opponents deep in the fwd line. This wont get him too far ATM at AFL level and he really needs to work at presenting on the lead.

Hammer would be more dangerous up fwd ATM than Kreuz with his pace and marking ability.

Would luv to see Hammer get 5-8 mins a qtr deep in the fwd line

 

[The Maleman]

I too like Waite forward but unfortunately I think we need his experience and athleticism down back.

If Carlos can hold down a key position down back then it could release Waite forward but it depends on the oppositions forward line.

I'd like to see Carlos and T-Bird used as our key defenders, Jamo as a third defender and Scotland and Bower used as our rebounding defenders. If this works to our advantage, Waite could then go forward.

Against the Saints I think we will need Waite down back.

finally some sense prevails!
