Regardless, I can't begin to understand how you can move a player from a position when they're showing promise and growth.
When it works it looks like a masterstroke (Leon Davis)
When it doesn't it looks like a daft idea that we were stupid for even trying (Alex Fasolo)
Particularly when you have no viable replacement in mind.
It depends on priorities and needs I guess. Us fans love to see our heros take screamers and kick goals. But a lot of the strategy around the game these days happens in the defensive lines. It's where many of the attacks are created from. It wasn't so long ago that we had the concept of the "back 6" whose primary role was to stop the opposition from scoring. These days, the defensive lines still need to do that, but in addition to that they also have an important role to play launching attacks on goal.
