Mooney And King Full Forward

[Dinga_19]

For the melbourne match at skilled what do uz think of the idea that King and mooney change ruck/FF? Mooney can't take a backward step at the moment and King will need to rest somewhere why not put him up forward for him to kick a bag and get his confidence up?

I Like the idea, but i think we need Mooney down back. But id like to see King down at Full Forward for a fair part of the game. He could swap with playfair throughout the game and if Mooney gets the chance throw him in there as well.

i think i read Bomber say that him and king will be changing in the ruck and for needing mooney down back i don't think we do i mean we have done very well without him back there the last few weeks i don't mind the idea of chucking him up forward especially when his confidence is high. See if he can't snag us some goals only for the short term though.

We will probably need extra height down back.... or else this will most likely be the matchups:

Scarlett will take Neitz
Harley take Holland
Milburn vs. Miller
Wojcinski or Rahilly for Davey
Sanderson probably Robbo

I dont like the last one, I would prefer either milburn or harley. Does anyone disagree with them or think something else.... please suggest.

Scarlett for Neitz is the only certainty.

We always have the option of dropping Mooney or even Playfair down back if need be. If Rooke is called back up we have another option to take on Miller, Davey or Robertson. A big dangerman you missed was Cameron Bruce. Has the ability to play as a hard to match tall...Milburn is the only one I can see capable of matching him up forward as well as the midfield.

Anyone else worried that King may throw off the current balance of our forward line?

what about mooney?

Ok
Wheatley seems to get loose in the backline a fair bit
To counter this and make him accountable i would..........
Start king in the middle mooney loose at chb
King to push fwd from the bounce ala hille from the dons
mooney to take the following role from then on
It could be a risky strategy,with king able to be run off
But a few goals from the captain will have a huge impact on the team
As far as being unbalanced,we do look a bit tall
And the talls struggled 2 weeks ago

If King does indeed play, I wonder if he'll do the old hide behind the goalpost trick?
