Jack Anthony has had some ok moments for Subiaco at CHF but generally struggled. Two bags of four goals and one of 3 goals 4 behinds early in the year. It seems with Hughes (5 goals on the weekend) and Broadhurst (their leading goal kicker) being the preferred goal options. Got me thinking with the recent move of Sibosado from Defence to Forward. This has been mentioned before and trialed briefly for a half in a game where he barely got a stat. But from all reports he did ok at full back without really touching ball.
I had a look through a few of his games last year. You can search through further games for Collingwood VFL team but below are a couple of the games that Anthony played in defence (particularly their final) and played very well. Almost sounds like a different player. I think it is time to move Anthony to defence.

John Anthony (14k, 8h): Our second best. Played on Brad Fisher. Although Fisher ended the day with three goals, he only kicked one or two on Jack. I thought Jack was terrific finding his own footy.

John Anthony was a shining light at full back, standing the in form Brad Fisher for most of the afternoon. Although Fisher managed three goals on him, all three could hardly be attributed to any wrongdoing on Anthony's behalf. Anthony managed 24-possessions and generated plenty of drive from the back half.

John Anthony (10k, 5h, 1m, 1t): Played in defence on Jason Cloke and restricted him to one goal. Very good in the air and provided a lot of run.
There were other games where he had 9 - 10 spoils and a lot more touches than he is getting for Subiaco.
