Our forward line in September 2012

[Quackers]

From what I'm hearing from the training reports, under Neeld we'll see more longer kicks to a forward contest. This will require some bigger bodies in the forward line.

Watts Martin Sylvia
Jurrah Clark Davey

- Martin playing 20% ruck 65% forward, and Jamar 80% ruck 5% forward.
- Petterd rotating with Sylvia/Trengove through mid/half forward.
- Howe on the wing as a long option out of the backline.
- Green would rotate with Watts, Howe and Jurrah.

That is a great rotation strategy listed. I can back your statement Martin playing deep more in 2012. From all reports so far he is training the house down.... I actually wouldn't be suprised if he takes the number 1 rucking job.

At this stage:

Sylvia Watts Petterd
Jurrah Clark Green
... and Howe on the bench.


However, with Tom McDonald and Blease training with the forwards, it will be interesting if they can release any of the above into the midfield. Davey isn't training with a particular group yet, but what if he plays in the forward line next year like many of us have predicted?

McDonald Watts Blease
Davey Clark Jurrah

Certainly unorthodox, but gives us tremendous marking and agility in one forward set up.
