So what has this not happened?
It's all been forced and has come late in the season. It does not happen as part of the normal game plan, it happens when we are getting beaten and someone decides to throw a magnet around. Similar things happening in the VFL.
Cripps forward early last season was a massive win for us then mid way through that has stopped.
Then he throws players in positions they don't have the traits to play like Kennedy in defence. He's too slow. Use Hollands who spoils well, reads the play well in defence and can provide rebound two way run, bring Binns in to replace him on the wing. Our coaching staff have no idea how to identify player traits and use that.
But that’s what I’m saying…it is happening. Cripps has been going forward this season, the problem is he has kicked 1 goal 9.
I really don’t like the idea of Hollands playing in the backline - yes he reads the play well - but asking a rookie to play in a foreign position is pretty risky.
No arguments from me however that playing Kennedy in the backline is just a really bad idea. He should put him forward instead.
