Howe got injured playing forward. Play him back.

no , play him forward, a player can get injured anywhere at anytime

he is far more of a threat as a forward for us than Frampton would be
would obviously play Krueger alongside him.
Moore, Frampton and Dean as our key backs

Johnson is playing, according to Beau. Not sure I'd be keen on both Johnson & Krueger coming in together for their first games in a while.

why does Oleg come straight back in, wasnt doing much before he didnt play last week. offered no rebound the previous month of football. as a sub , maybe, but as a forward would just be silly, has ever even played forward?
He's fit. He's fast. We're decimated by injuries. There are 3 good reasons to bring him in, imo.

I agree. He would have been close to being dropped in his last game
He’s not a forward imo so don’t think this will work. Defensive forward just for this game?

averaged 8 possessions in his previous 3 games offering next to zero rebound
prefer we continue with Parker.
if Oleg comes on as a sub, fair enough, but doesnt warrant a spot in the starting backline or forward line at the moment

I wouldn't hesitate to bring him in. But neither of us are selectors, so we'll see. Just opinions on bf.

In: Howe, Johnson, Oleg, Macrae
Out: Cox, Checkers, Pendlebury, Richards

  • Frampton to play forward and rotate through the ruck with Johnson down fwd
  • Given Dean's inexperience I would play Howe down back
  • Oleg to come back into our backline
  • Macrae to go through the midfield
  • Parker or Allen to be sub.

Lol I'm copping crap for this post.

I remember the long discussions here in 2018 about Darcy Moore's hamstrings. Whether him playing forward made it more likely he'd get a soft tissue injury as you're in front of the ball trying to lose a defender, change direction etc and playing back you have it all in front of you and just have to read the play.

Moore's had a pretty good run since moving to the backline.

Richmond trained him as a forward at one point I believe. He is in the 21-27 range of player on our list, sometimes he's best 22 sometimes he is not depending on form/team needs. Disposal count with the way we play isnt a huge indication of if he is doing his role well

I’d play Leggy on a wing and move Steele forward, to provide some much needed experience, class and leadership to what will be a VFL-standard forward line.
