Moore's a better one on one defender, Doogs is more versatile and a better forward.Yeah nah I reckon doogs has more tricks
Also currently in the alf player ratings team of the year (to date)
That will be distorted by a move forward, some goals for a defender will be very highly rated.
Wow, even better then!Actually went backwards this week.
It rates intercept marks very highly so he did well there in his first 6 games.
I think he may have been top 40 or 20 in comp prior to switching forward.
This is my only concern with shifting Howard forward. We have plenty of coverage of 'normal' KPF's, but not the 197/198+. 'Plays taller' only takes you so far. IF going forward it's going to be some combination of Howard, Frampton, Marshall and resting Ruck up forward then recruiting a 196cm+ KPD becomes a priority. We don't need desperately another 'shorter' KPD. And we could delist 5 HBF's and still have enough.I just love his closing speed when the ball hits the ground, sadly we have bugger all depth to stop 2+ metre giants without Howard down back
It might be time to swing Billy or Marshall back for the Magpies?This is my only concern with shifting Howard forward. We have plenty of coverage of 'normal' KPF's, but not the 197/198+.

In the short term I'd still put him forward with one of Frampton, Marshall or Dixon and only swing back if we're getting killed by a 195+ opposition KPF.

Could be good for their development.

Marshall I see as the long term Westhoff replacement able to run up and down the ground and drift forward to be an extra tall stretching the defense. My caveat on this is, like Westhoff, he shouldn't then be included in any count of KPP's we are playing, as an excuse not to play 2 KPF's AND the resting ruck up forward.It might be time to swing Billy or Marshall back for the Magpies?

Round 11 .. Start voting for Dougal .. his mark on the wing ... my votes in ..
Stuff the defence. Defenders are much easier to come by. And if Howard struggles up front after a season, then switch him back. Frampton doesn’t have Howard’s or Dixon’s athleticism, so he can stay as back up.
Really? She can bend it like Beckham.Yeah nah I reckon doogs has more tricks

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but this can be risky. Carlton nearly stuffed Weitering's career by doing this.
People underestimate how much of football is mental. Doogs down back right now finally has the courage to start flying for marks that last year would've been spoils. If he goes up forward and struggles, then who says that confidence will still be there if we then decide to switch him back again?
PLAY DOUGAL FORARD.
PLAY DOUGAL FORWARD.
PLAY DOUGAL FORWARD!
unless Marshall becomes a behemoth and we need Dougal down back temporarily.
In 5 quarters against the crows in the last 8 weeks that Dougal has played as a forward we have kicked 21 goals 13 behinds vs 8 goals 16 behinds.
We don't need him down back. Dougal playing foward makes Dixon better. Dougal playing forward makes Westhoff better.
It's a no brainer. Keep Dougal forward!
