It just means Burton can go forward or through the middle.
Precisely, which is all part of the master plan.

It just means Burton can go forward or through the middle.
Frawley's poor foot skills are going to stand out like dogs balls when he returnsWhere the hell are Stratts and Chips going to fit into that back line next season. She's gunna be a tight fit.
We are, but when you drop games after being 43 points in front - and then follow it up by losing to GC at MCG – we deserve what we get.We are so much better than our ladder position suggests.
Our injuries this year have been a blessing in disguise.
Gibson, Stratton and Frawley were stinking up the joint before they got injured. Burton, Hardwick, Sicily and Brand have been terrific.
Gibbo may get a farewell game but he will finish up at seasons end. I think there is still a spot for Birchall which will allow Burton to move up ground. But Frawley and Stratton? I'd explore their trade value, especially Frawley's.
But whose places would Stratts and Chips be taking? Sicily and Gunners are killing it down back and Hardwick is doing nothing wrong.We're playing eight defenders now as we know the young blokes need support. Works well as a way of protecting our defence, not so well when we force the turnover then have to chip it around the halfback line for half an hour till someone manages to run forward.
Clarko has done a magnificent job of adapting our game plan to cover our deficiencies, which accounts for the turnaround in our fortunes this year, but make no mistake- we're a mid-table team at the moment.
There's also little doubt we'd be a better side with most of our starting backline back in the team (not to mention Cyril & Poppy), as we'd be able to adapt our structure again to be more attacking.
I reckon we're a good chance of threatening again next year if we have a better run with injuries, but I think we'd look a hell of a lot better with Frawley and Stratts back. Would allow us to play Gunston & Sicily forward and both of them can take a mark occasionally- Sicily especially.

Absolutely elite atm I reckon. Have wondered the same thing what he's like off field, but in interviews I've noticed he's alway very charming and sweet. Quite bizarre, actually.Sicily is one loose unit but boy has he found himself at senior level.
Is currently playing at an elite level for his position.
I'd love to hear from anyone who might know if he is well liked or not off the field.
if this happens i swear to god im gonna hire some Botswanian person to make fake accounts and spam the sh1t out of the saints boardSt Kilda might finish below us the way things are going, and with their draw.
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Poppy as well has been bog average all year and even (dare I say it) Cyril was not exactly setting the world on fire before he got injured.
What will cost us a finals spot this year was Clarko's loyalty to the old guard, ever since we changed to the kids (by necessity due to injury) we have played some great attacking footy.
Was a horrible game with very poor discipline. We are no chance the next two weeks if we play like that. Back at the G though, anything could happen.Hi all
Didn't see any of the game but just had a read through the game day thread
Freo play scrappy footy
We won by lots
Seriously
Lighten the **** up guys and gals
Really like Schoenmakers back in the side. Has been part of the reason for our reversal of form and has cemented himself in our best 22 i reckon.4 players I'm looking for next week:
Langford - Pressured poorly against the Freo half back line, gave away a number of frees. He cannot afford another set shot miss from 20 metres.
Schoey - Had some great kicks, made good decisions, but we need more from him in the air.
Timmy O - Is injured, still managed the two goals and a nice run-down tackle, but we were missing a target when the game was hot. More consistency needed.
It seems that a lot of posters call games horrible if the side so much as makes one mistakeWas a horrible game with very poor discipline. We are no chance the next two weeks if we play like that. Back at the G though, anything could happen.
It was a fantastic win. But prob should've been by 80 points. #hawthornproblemsIt seems that a lot of posters call games horrible if the side so much as makes one mistake
Most games v freo aren't great spectacles
But lets not forget it's still a great win
Okay, I don't mean to be rude, but you have already said you didn't actually watch the game.It seems that a lot of posters call games horrible if the side so much as makes one mistake

I really don't need to watch to know what freo serve upOkay, I don't mean to be rude, but you have already said you didn't actually watch the game.
I'm very happy to get the win.
Supporting a Ross Lyon coached side would be like having an ugly, boring child. You still love them but by god its an effort!I really don't need to watch to know what freo serve up
Did uou hear cheeky Lakey ask him if he was off to have a Guinness with his friends?if everyone would be upstanding whilst we raise a glass to the irishman
