Maybe you need to generate some new brain cells if you can't see that our current logjam of talent is it is in defence and we are yet to find a reliable supporting tall to partner Mitch Lewis. We need to find places for our talent and we need to move players around to do so.There's no conceivable change that would make us even consider throwing our best defender and only genuine backline leader into the forward line.
I'm glad it's the last you'll be posting on it because it's the stupidest recurring opinion on this board and we'll all be left with more braincells not needing to read it every week.
So based on these two points its not inconceivable that Sic might be pushed forward at some stage in the next few years - not next week - as we push for finals especially if we determine to settle on Jeka Blanck and Denver in the back half (or others) and we are performing OK as a defense.
The side will evolve to something quite different in the next 2 to 3 seasons with personnel and positions. We've seen it time after time. We need to have flexibility and be unpredictable if we are to challenge.
Sic started his career as a fwd and showed match winning ability at times up fwd at AFL level. He's one of few in the side with the capability to be a very dangerous swing man. Gunners has been used the opposite way by Clarko in the past. Scrim now making appearances up forward. Morris has come in which has pushed Dimma higher. Mitchell pushed out of CBs.
It's already happening in front of your eyes and you dismiss it as a possibility...I assume you observed our evolution leading up to 2008 and then thru the 3 peat?
