With Howey and Shaz in the mix, hopefully WHE is back down the other end kicking a bag against the old mob this week

Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Gone from a skillful, hard running half forward to a stagnant pea-hearted squib. Legitimately offers nothing to the side. Sums up our forward line issues perfectly.
He's absolutely terrible. An absolute squib and a protected species by the selectors. Time to move on.
I thought he looked good on a wing for moments vs GWS.
What’s his best position do we feel?
Half back. Can take a mark and elite kick. He played well there at times last year.
Try him in the Howe role?
Agreed. Give him a man. WHE is hard to beat one on one. Forces him to engage in and impact situations (and play harder). He's fast and a great leap. I think it's a no-brainer.Half back. Can take a mark and elite kick. He played well there at times last year.
I'm off him
TRADE
Unfortunately wouldn’t get much for him. Worth more to us than another club, which is saying something.

Worked for Howe.Playing a guy in a role and hoping he’ll improve an aspect of his game because the role will force it upon him is asking for trouble. Needs to play high HF with rotations closer to goal.
Worked for Howe.
Nowhere did I say that it was achieved at Collingwood. Still worked though didn't it? Your argument is bizarre. The history of AFL/VFL football is littered with cases of players who were underperforming in their designated positions, were switched up and went on to have rejuvinated careers. Leon Davis is another one who immediately comes to mind. Crazy stuff.Howe was successful playing defense before he came to the Pies.

So what you are saying is it not worth trying because you have some greater insight into WHE's genetics. Ok. Have a nice day.You're ignoring the players traits. Howe and WHE vastly different players. Presti, McCormack, Reid, Davis... history is littered with players who make the transition. Equally, there are players who don't/can't because it's just not in their DNA.

Congratulations. You've just described Leon Davis' stint in the Collingwood forward line to a tee. And as you are no doubt aware, he went on to become an outstanding sweeper in the backline. Isn't genetics fascinating?WHE is shocking 1v1, a very outside player. He always looks to play off an opponent, even when they're smaller, and then still often gets beaten.They're not traits you want in a defender.
