SPS might not be "lazy" but let's just say I've seen some harder runners.
Is he injured? Is he lacking in confidence?
If Freo offered us a decent pick tomorrow, I'd take it. Would you?
IMO the demoting of players that arent as aggressive as say stocker, cotrell ie SPS Setterfield, is more about sending a message than a sign that their papers are stamped.
Teague is trying to get some aggression and hardness into the team, to match the slick ball movement that he has developed. Our weakness in this regards, has been concentrated in the midfield, between the arcs. Putting Doc on the wing is part of this process IMO- he can have more influence on the wing than HB . He is ably replaced by Zac W , who desperately needed to regroup following his luke warm intro into the world of being a full time Mid. I have no doubt Zac will move back to that midfield role eventually, but he needs to find his feet again. newman has helped out as well, stabilising our defence.
With kemp and Marchbank and Parks to eventually be added to the mix , we might see Doc being moved to the wing permanently. I like the move on a lot of levels
