agree we need to put some of our quality down there.
Its robbing Peter to pay Paul but Paul is looking in a pretty bad way so why not!

I wouldnt mind seeing Roughie go back to help out a bit down there, especially against teams that have bigger forward lines eg. St Kilda, That would give the boy Dowler an chance to play out of the in the forward 50 with Buddy, I like what I saw of Dowler in the last couple of weeks last year, is he injured atm? Im not to sure, the key is having the full side to pick from then Clarko can start moving the chess pieces around a bit to find the right balance.
Imho Hodge needs to play at least parts of the game across half back for his run. when we are playing well he can move forward

I'd actually have Richmond's ahead of ours. It's young, but guys like McGuane, Moore, Newman, Rance and the bloke beginning with T are handy.
Campbell Brown came to my school presantation for footy and he got asked how he played so well on the big forwards a couple of years ago and why he is now playing forward he said that the afl brought in some rule changes like, chopping of the arms and a couple of others and he said thats why he is no a forward.

While that makes sense he would be fine playing on the small forwards who have been chopping us up as well. Not to mention providing cut offs for Shoe and Gilham on the bigger guys. It still doesnt add up.
Hodge and Brown made AA based on playing in defense, they are being played out of position. Even Hodge's first AA was in a year mainly playing off the HBF.

the back six must be changed full stop.
i was that pissed last week that the coaches didnt change it, when it clearly wasnt working, swaping brownie and schoe around could of changed the result of the game.
Brown must go back, i love him up forward, but he is a backman, he got AA for being a backman.
Hodge can play both, depending on how the game is going.
Roughead, put him in the backline he cant kick to save his life atm, he only needs to be there until gibbo comes back.
