Could this guy play as a small forward more than anything else now? Has sublime skills, is very dangerous around goal and can take a good mark. He has kicked 4 goals in Round 1 and 4 again in Round 2 and it would help our midfield rotation. I'm not suggesting he stays there for the rest of his career because we could still swap him into the midfield but it looks a good permanent role for him. ATM we probably have the best small forward combination in the comp based on form with Davey, Yze and Robertson all firing. Hopefully Neita can stand up in his 250th and Miller can run Harley ragged so we give the Geelong defense a few headaches.
 
i reckon that even if neitz has an off day against scarlett, which he often has... we still should be able to kick enough goals. we have 2 many goal kicking options with Green, Robertson, Davey, Yze and Bruce aswell as Neitz and hopefully Miller.

we just need out defense to stand strong
 
Very happy with the move of Yze to the forward line to create havoc. I feel he was wasted last year picking up cheap kicks off half back.

Obviously we would love for him to play in the middle as a perminant midfielder, but that may not be possible anymore due to niggling injuries. A perminant forward who has bursts in the middle could be the go. Especially as he is good overhead and a deadly kick.

Two points about Yze's move forward:

- Proves he is a gun and it gives us the opportunity to get the best out of his talent.
- Proves our midfield is strong enough and deep enough to play without him.

Of course, when the time is right we should put him on the ball and have Green and Bruce rotate inside 50 too, but he's kicked 3, 4 and 4 from his last 3 matches so lets keep him up there.
 
Has kicked 12 goals in his last 3 games for us (including the Elimination Final).

Gives our forward line much needed mid sized class.

It also gives the likes of Sylvia, McLean and Moloney the opportunity to get a bit of experience up in the midfield.

Expect to see Adem moved up the ground during some stage with the likes of Sylvia, Bruce and Green having stints up forward too.

Speaks volumes about our versatility.
