This is what I hope to see from round 14 for the rest of the season.
Starting midfield for first 15-20 minutes of each quarter of Tuck, Coughlan and Johnson which is what we've been doing so far with good success.
Rotated midfield of any 3 of Hyde(who isn't 100% since injury), Jackson(who gets very limited opportunity), Newman(who can have a run in middle when Hartigan is back in defence) and Deledio(who is learning still) to play 5-10 minutes a quarter to give the Starting midfield a rest. These 4 guys are our back up midfield and we should never use Chaffey, Campbell, Krakouer or Tivendale in there because they are weak links in the middle. But we have been using these weak links every week and that's when we get smashed in the midfield. One weak link can punish a team in the middle and that's what happened against Adelaide. LOL at Chaffey playing on Goodwin. Gee it's strange that Jacko is tall, strong and quick but never played on Goodwin.
Let's use our best young backup midfield and stop using the wrong players in the centre. Bring Back Schultz, Hall, Hartigan and Tambling. Please Drop Graham, Chaffey, Morrison and maybe Krakouer. Let Pettifer, Tambling and Richo lead from the goal square. Last night we changed our forward structure so that our deep forwards were standing in the goalsquare and they had the 50m arc to themselves. I was very pleased to see this, because I wrote into Terry about this. Pity our midfield wasn't made up of the right players who couldn't win enough ball to get it down there. The midfield and the forward structure are the 2 main ways we can improve alot and it can be done because we have the players. But we must stick with these players so they can get used to playing in the middle. Persist with the young talent and it will pay off
. Keep Staff in also, because he is out of form, but will get back to the form he showed before his ankle injury.
