Id love to see him back in the side, seeing the clip of him before against Ess in 2010 is exactly what we're missing right now. Would be just the tonic for front half that is having to work to damn hard to conjure goals

Post has been given many opportunites down back and hasn't shown much. Give Griff a go.
Yeah he's played a massive 5 games down back for the Tigers. Has looked good in 3 of those too. I'd bring in Griffiths, Post and Vickery. 3 talls at each end of the ground. Personally I think Miller is cramping the forward line a bit with his lack of pace. Would prefer him to make way for someone who can take a mark and/or make a lead with more acceleration. Post can be the swingman. Play either forward or back or both ends during the game.

In: Griffiths, Post, Vickery
Out: Miller, Grimes, King

But I reckon we'll see just 2 changes

I like that long term but don't expect it this week...

I don't mind him playing back this year in the 1's. Will be good for him just to play games consistantly and hopefully not get injured. Not to mention it will be good for him just to get some easy touches at senior level and get some game time confidence.

Well he hasn't played a game there all year and has been training as a backman all pre-season. So whilst he may end up being a key forward he is a backman for now.
Who cares he's not a natural backman anyway, i'd put in post and griff in the side for saturday's game.

Have you seen a game this year at Coburg? I know I have and can assure you he is more comfortable in defence at that level than Posty. On the other hand Posty looks far more comfortable as a forward than backman at VFL level.

Like I said they both should playing but they decided on mr vickery instead of post who is totally out of form...bad move imo.

Well I would say playing back at AFL level is better than forward at VFL level for his development as a forward.

Whoever's playing Carlton.

Got to say I'm going to be disappointed if Griffiths doesn't make it as a forward.

Hmmm. Interesting theory. Time will tell, if not by 11 then sometime eventually I suppose.;)
