Jako - playing a role similar of Cloke from the Pies when we need a lift and a cool head.

Sampi - i'd like to see him spend a bit more time in a back pocket but ca'n't complain about his work ethic on our half forward line.

McDougall - See what he's like at CHB cause he hasn't shown much in a position this year not suited to him IMHO Should use his athleticism a bit more.

Embley - used as a shutdown player in Chicks absence. I would like to see him get the impending job on Pav

Adkins - on a wing I feel, can kick goals and has dash
 
I think we have everyone in the right place we just havent clicked much this year. Wirra, Carroll, Lynch, Waters etc all at the right end of the ground, same for Sampi, Fido, Doogs, Jako etc...

The midfield is the midfield.

We just havent got it together yet. I dont think it's time to hit the panic button just yet by going with radical positional changes...

i've never been a fan of cloke in this position. i think that quiet a few coaches have clued into this tactic and put a man on cloke to make him accountable. although i've never been a huge fan of jako in the forward line i think we need him at CHF. we've been lacking a big body in this position.

i'd attually like to see sampi push up the ground into the midfield. his goal sense is uncanny and we need him to be an offensive player.

this is a hard one as mcD has been out of sorts. he is having problem with the bigger defenders. he is defiantly his best on the run rather than in a marking contest. i'd keep him at FF although he needs to work on his kicking or he's going to be the next troy wilson.

agree 100% although jones may get a run on pavlich.

i agree. this guy has really come along well this year.

other than that i'd like to see glass and/or gaspar get into the team. freos talls could really stretch our defense and i'd hate to see jako playing back on a man.
 
I'd like to see Doogs at CHF, with Gaspar regaining match fitness at FF and Jakovic on the HFF as the third tall and you could maybe squeeze staker in as another tall option. So we have more go-to options in the forwardline. If not this, they should rotate the midfield so Judd and Embley can take turns at CHF, they are both hard to match up on because of their speed and embley is very good overhead easily better that McDougall.

I would like to see Gaspar play CHB this week given Lynch's suspension.

Would also like to see Seaby and Cox spend some time at either CHF or FF (mainly FF) to see who they can go up there. I reckon they're height could cause some major problems.....

And i think it is imprettive that one of them develop into being able to play a tall forward role as well as rucking.

I say that because i don't think Gardy will do much rucking in the future (:() and i can't see players of Seaby and Cox's talents wanting to stay at the club if they're only gonna get half a game or less in the ruck and the rest of the time they're spent on the bench. Both have the talent to be in the top 6 rucks in the competition in the future.
