Probably on a wing, free-ing up Walsh to spend more time on the ball. Wouldn't be surprised if Murph is pushed out of the side by Newman when he comes back from injury. That lets both Willo and SPS be permanent wingers/mids.
Me too, marking wingers - that's why I like Marchbank on the wing
3 x J. Waite HB, wing & forward would have been handy (and if ever fit at CFC).
A winger needs to be able to find the footy 20+ times, not sure this is in Govs repertoire
I want him playing a varied forward role. Getting higher up the ground towards the wing, marking and kicking into 50 as part of our transition movement, he's a great mark and beautiful kick. We'll also need him playing deeper at times, and he can do that too. He can 'rest' in the square as a dangerous option, perhaps when Levi is doing the relief rucking.
Well....
Only if / when he gets back he has also improved his field kicking - Williamson is a better option I think.
Maybe we should have a crack at that Tomlinson fellow. Apparently can play tall AND wing.
If fit and doesn't have a form slump he'll likely play most if not all of the year. Fit & can run all day, has a bit of size about him, seems to never get injured, can kick a goal, versatile in that he can play wing, hff and hbf (although from memory he hasn't done that for us).
I feel if we are going to improve and take the next step to a finals team then there has to be some casualties and players of a higher class and output need to be found.
Absolutely no doubt, he hits the scoreboard consistently. him and Sammy Walsh just have a knack for finding goals, it’s a skill that can’t be taught.
Might be if he played wing instead of forward pocket...?
Still think Fog starts as a forward, possibly with an occasional spurt in the middle. Remember he's coming from a bit back, this is his first January not in the rehab group, and with the reduced interchange there will be an emphasis on being 4-quarter-2-way-running fitness when the match committee sit down to discuss selection.
Agree - but not sure Newnes is in the first batch to be replaced.
We can expect him to play in the backline in the reserves, maybe the last month or two of the season. He was supposedly training as a key defender before doing his ankle, not sure if that's where he'll resume or as a hbf.
Missed what happened to his ankle?? Must be serious if he is going to miss that much footy..
Knew i would miss someone.. although struggling to find a spot for him.
Back pocket. Lock it in.
Ahead of Marchbank, SPS & Saad..
