Yeah I think you're rightDidn’t seem to be at a cursory glance, seemed to just be a midfield/HFF rotation.
Someone smarter than me can correct, but I thought he was playing straight up.
Also, would have thought SPS was more suited to that roleDidn’t seem to be at a cursory glance, seemed to just be a midfield/HFF rotation.

I strongly agreeI don't think he is going to make it as a footballer.
- Gaff 39% of CBAs after zero in Round 1. No. Bad. Stop it. Why do this?
But Exxon took more than half of the CBAs last week and spent a great amount of time in the HFF otherwise.There was a bit of a shuffle of magnets with SPS replacing XON. SPS took Jones’ role as a forward with occasional midfield rotations, Jones shifted to the backline, Cole pushed up onto a wing and Gaff got O’Neill’s minutes in the middle.
Some of those worked well, don’t think Cole on a wing or Gaff in the middle is the way to go though.

SPS…almost purpose built for that opportunity. Seemed the easiest like for like we’ll ever make. Making Gaff that role instead, and SPS the Jones role, doesn’t seem like a sound strategy to me.
Cole on the wing I don’t mind, rotations are good. Hunt on the wing good. Gaff on the wing good. Chesser, that’s where he’s playing ok.
Gaff in the middle makes no sense and we finally have options to not have to fall back on it.
At the time I noticed Cole taking pretty much all of the wing bounces in the second quarter when Gaff was in the middle, almost seemed like a deliberate personnel grouping. Might go back and check to see how often it was the case but it certainly wasn’t late stat padding so to speak.Changing Jones to HBF meant Hunt played mostly wing which worked really well I reckon. The knock on effect was that we had 3 wingers: Hunt / Gaff / Chesser with Gaff moving on ball for rotations when all 3 were on the field. If that's the price to pay for the run we get from Jones and Shuey playing HBF then I don't love it but can understand it.
Could be wrong but I think it was mostly in Q4 that Cole took Chesser's place on the wing.

I just find the whole thing very strange and can’t quite grasp why that would be the play.

Every time Gaff attends a centre bounce.How often will this be updated a week?
Yes.How often will this be updated a week?
How many times in a week?How often will this be updated a week?
Typical of these elitist mods.How many times in a week?
Every day, hopefully.
Not sure much will change though.
They're terrible, I heard that one wears a crown made of dead birdsTypical of these elitist mods.
It doesn't even bother me that he got none, it bothers me that he struggles to nullify the opposition if they get hands on the ball first. That's the good thing about SPS, if he's not getting the ball then at least he's throwing himself at the oppositionInteresting in rnd 1 Gaff attended no centre bounces and got one CB clearance and then in round 2 attended 11 and got none.
