I see frij is named on the wing, something I have been hoping to see for a while. But what chance that is just BS by the match committee?

It's a chance, Harmes went out and no wing came in. I'd prefer Freijah at HB personally but finding it hard to work out the team

I presume Williams will go back with only the two tall defenders. Even then it's only Lobb, JOD, Williams, Cleary, Bramble, Dale. Does that mean they actually plan on playing Libba half back?

I just have no idea how we're going to field the side

Not sure how wings work , but I have heard about offensive and defensive wings? Im assuming defensive concentrates more on working back to help the defenders and contribute to D50 rebound, while the offensive is more about getting ahead of the play to provide options up the ground?

Seems like Frij would be more your defensive wing and Davidson the offensive?

That's pretty much it. Football isn't to complicated broken down into its parts. The wing has become a very specialist role in the last 10 years where as it was more an after thought upto that point. One of the key things for a wingman is o hold width and not get tucked into the contest, something that is alot easier said then done (something freijah was exceptional at in U18s). It also requires high footy IQ to know when to roll forward or back. On top of all that you need elite endurance and ideally great marking ability (Davo & Freijah's height helps). If you can also add a bit of speed and good delivery then you have an elite wingman.
