Hentshel as a back. I like it.
Last year in the North vs WWT game at Wodville Oval. Hentshel and McGregor both played back, and both played well.

I am sure Trent would be happy to play any position as long as he is getting a game
Trent doen back will all depend on whether he has retained his acceleration and pace over a short distance.

It will be interesting to see Hawthorn's approach for next week
Today the Hawks lost Stephen Gilham (knee) Campbell Brown (ankle) and
Grant Birchall (Hammy).
Given the fact the Hawks depth is currently being servely challenged Clarko may chose to rest one or two key players as a contingency given their is one more trial match after next week.
Williams, Roughhead and Mitchel have all had two good hit outs, this would give an opportunity to the likes of Mitch Thorp
I hope they play their strongest possible side

Moran may look bad in defense because he's playing a KPP role. As I've said in another thread, you put Rutten and Symsey back in that defense line and play Moran in a Bassettesque "spare man in defence" position and he soon will become very valuable. Right now, it's not working, but the potential is there.
Also - could someone put the live radio link up when it's found.... 5aa were not allowed to stream it last week so i assumed it wasn't on only to find it WAS! Cheers.

Let's not go nuts over a trial match where players were played totally out of position.
Moran is a fine defender, he just needs to not be a key defender that is required to stick to a player. By that I mean, play him in defence by all means, but not on the FF.
Of course, since this is a trial match that, in essence, means absolutely nothing, and we don't actually have a FB at the moment, what harm is there in playing him there and seeing how he goes? Or anyone else for that matter. Put Bock at FB and see if we can rely on him if need be. Try out Stevens. It doesn't matter if we lose this match at all, as long as we learn something from it so that if Rutten injures himself during a period of time where we actually have 4 points to gain, we know what to do next time instead of putting Johncock and Moran on a key forward and costing ourselves the match.

Moran does not have the footy smarts to play last man in defence, or the brute strength required. He is more suited to CHB but we know he wont play there as we have the best CHB in the comp in Bock. I would rather Otten be played in the Bassett role. He is 192cm . Is quicker than Bassett, is composed and has a long kick. I think we should play him there for the remainder of the NAB cup as when all our players are back he wont get alot of time in the midfiled so lets give him a position he can own.
It makes no sense to me why people would be suggesting Moran is hopeless as a defender. He is young, has excellent speed, excellent size and yes, he is still developing a football brain. He was recruited after Franklin took us apart in the Elimination final in 2007. We need a player of his size, speed and agility that can take a KPF should that be the type of player required. And this isn’t just to combat Franklin, with resting ruckman up forward Moran is potentially a terrific match. Is he where he needs to be yet? No. Is he guaranteed to work out? No. Is the NAB Challenge series the perfect opportunity to be exposing him? Yes.
The Hawks backline is currently decimated. Hopefully our forward line can take advantage. Does anyone know Adelaide’s stats for forward entries for the past 3 games (or where I can find them)? I’d be interested to know how often we are getting the ball down there at the moment.

At this rate the Hawks might have to forefit. not sure they have 22 fit players.

Something tells me that we are really going to miss Massie down back this year especially with Stevens needed up forward (only player who can kick straight) and with Moran looking like a headless chook back there. I can only hope that Truck and Bocky stay fit...
Give Moran a go. He may well become a top backman. Too early to call him as a dud. He's only been playing the game 5 minutes.

Really? It's 2 and a half hours from where I live and I live an hour away from Adelaide so an hour closer to Berri.
Yeah, its kinda like the fact that you can make ice quicker using boiling water. The further you are away from the destination at the start, the quicker you get there.
It's the Paul Simon Theorum you know, the nearer your destination the more you're slip slidin' away

Primary determining factor would be how heavy the driver's right foot is.
Spot on. I cannot believe Moran is copping a bake so early. He is very much a junior, undeveloped player who thus far has shown very promising glimpses. Unfortunately when we talk about our young developing list this bloke is not mentioned along with the likes of Kite, Otten etc. There is a perception he is an established player...he is not.
From what he has shown thus far he must be persevered with. I saw him in defence against Sydney last year and he did a damned good job. Won a game for us against Carlton..but he is young, relatively new to the game and will take time, patience and coaching...get off his case
