Franklin is similar in structure and playing type to Daniher and Hipwood.
Hence the idea of moving him to defence.
Roughead was a much better contested mark than Gunston. Gunston is a leading player more in the Breust mold
It may not have been score involvement exactly, perhaps it was scoring chain starter or something obscure along those lines. Whatever it was, it raised my eyebrows a bit.
Haha I used to think exactly the same. Gee he was underrated by a few.
I do take your earlier point though - if you think about who is most at risk of being dropped in that forward line, his name is up there. Not because of his output, but becasuse he's behind Cameron, Rayner and Bailey probably. Also, I suspect, many are lured by the bright-new-shiny-thing potential of Lohmann.Haha I used to think exactly the same. Gee he was underrated by a few.
I'm sensing some irony as I type this... Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead... Or at least not so far behind

I think that Rich is a bit underrated as far as his ability to defend. He doesn't have great pace and can be exposed in that regard, but if the ball is coming in high he puts himself in good positions to spoil and puts his body on the line.What about Zorko for Rich down back?
Browny gave Rich an almighty spray after the Prelim.
Maybe it's time to give Rich a rest early season and swap Zorko in down back.
If Rich wants the spot back he has to show improvement, like anyone else.
No room for sacred cows or we don't improve.
"Have a look at Daniel Rich here (running on the wing). Do you think he wants to join in team defence? He’s still looking over going: ‘Oh I’ve got my man covered. Gary Rohan’s put 30 metres on him – they could have held hands when they crossed each other. But he had no desire to join in any team defence whatsoever.
“It’s alright when he’s got the footy and he looks beautiful because he’s a great kick.
“But time and time and time again you’ll see that from Daniel Rich having no interest in joining in on team defence.”

i like the team as you have included two of my favourite younger guys as well as Wilmont. Would also like to see Prior there but just don't know how he gets in at present. Also I like to see Lohmann at some stage in 2023 get a decent crack but I suppose at present behind Linc.
Our forwards can all kick goals sure but some of them aren't too hot at applying defensive pressure or gut running to defend space on any possible rebound. We don't have the mix quite right but it's hard to replace any of them because they're all good players.
He's one of our most valuable players but here's hoping he spends the off season working on his speed off the mark and reaction times.
hoping the same Rich and Zorko. All three down on form although kept there spots.
I disagree, there were some games where he looked alright, but as a young player, he was very inconsistent. Our midfield is quite strong, I can't see a lot of list getting dropped to make space for Dev at this stage, especially with the recruitment of Ashcroft. Fox Footy didn't name him in our predicted best 22.
