Think outside the box

[Tigerland]

Call me crazy but I would like to see the following for at least a few matches.

*Richo to play in the backline. Either at CHB of FB.
Reason - to see who can cut it at FF. Schultz? Give Hughes some more room. (at least play him!)
Richo takes up a lot of space and he won't be there forever. Only danger would be hampering Thursfields development but I think he's looking alright.

* Raines to be dropped. He continually turns it over by foot. We need a rock solid backline that don't do the things he does. I like his run but when you're streaming up the ground and kick it to the opposition it affects the confidence of the whole team. (do not however put Hartigan in his place!)

*Take Bowden out of the backline for periods in the game to see how we go without our so called quarterback.

* Johnson to play off the bench and only put into the forward pocket occasionally. If he looks slow when he comes on at the 20 minute mark then he's finished.

*Tuck to play more of a tagging role. At least he'll kick it less.

* Leave Tambling in the middle for a whole game. Give him 5-10 minutes rest a quarter but play him in midfield.

*Give Newman time in the midfield to see if he can play there.

*Use Pettifer as an impact player only. Let him rip at the 20 minute mark of each quarter. He usually only plays in spurts anyway. Is capable of kicking quick goals.

It's fair to say our team structure at the minute is a shambles. Time to experiment. I've had enough of the current rubbish being served up.

I'd like Terry for the rest of the year to invite a different VFL coach every week to coach us on match day.

Let's just settle this now, let's see if another person can get something out of this side, whether it's tactical, positional or inspirational.

(Now that's thinking outside the box!)

But no, not Terry.....cause he's got 5 FREAKIN years to balls us around.

Why reward mediocrity?

Undeserving of a place in the 22 next week on the strength of that pitiful display against the Hawks, yet you would plonk him in the guts!
I'd be throwing Newman or King or even Edwards in there. At least they'd have a crack!

i agree that rainesys run through the middle is great but i dont know why they want to give him the ball all the time he gets it and does nothing with it just like the majority of our list. id rather see newman running through the middle with the ball in his hands, and even though i need raines for my dream team i think he might need to be dropped too good point
