Usually 8 mids and 7 forwardsCan we have 7 mids and 7 forwards as well?
I'd play Hill lining up at half forward, but essentially using his running power to get back and provide run off half back and overlap to half forward. Will utilise his running power more, give him a chance to generate quality i50 and reduce his defensive liability. I like Joyce and Highmore in for Howard and Clark as wellWhere does that leave Webster?
It’s pretty hard to generate run from half forward I doubt they move him. If they do and freo tag sinclair which I’m nearly certain they will do where does our run come from?I'd play Hill lining up at half forward, but essentially using his running power to get back and provide run off half back and overlap to half forward.

We used him like that in games this year and Hill himself said in an interview that's what he think would be his preferred position and whyIt’s pretty hard to generate run from half forward I doubt they move him.

Yes we have but I reckon they are now going to tag sinclair especially as it worked against Sydney and then Carlton didn’t bother.We used him like that in games this year and Hill himself said in an interview that's what he think would be his preferred position and why
In my view Hill could still be creating a lot of run off half back although lining up at half forward. Also we should be using his running power more. He hasn't been in the top 5 for distance run the last 2 games. Personally I would expect him to be given that's 1 of his biggest strenghtsYes we have but I reckon they are now going to tag sinclair especially as it worked against Sydney and then Carlton didn’t bother.
You would hope we learnt from when we played the Dees.I hope we don’t focus our game on negating their players. Back ourselves in.
If we play like Friday we can roll themI hope we don’t focus our game on negating their players. Back ourselves in.
Well I suppose they did finish lower than us.So we get the top 4 team Fremantle again and we haven’t even played west coast yet who Richmond are playing for the second time today! Pretty much explains why they are in the 8 and we aren’t
So how come Cats, Port and Dees got easier draws than us??Well I suppose they did finish lower than us.
No idea. All I know is it’s broken into groups of 6. You get either 2 or 3 from your group and one or two from the other groups. Unfortunately we only got 2 from our group and that meant two from another group. We got 2 from the best group. We could have got 2 from the bottom group.So how come Cats, Port and Dees got easier draws than us??
There’s nothing equitable about the whole fixture.No idea. All I know is it’s broken into groups of 6. You get either 2 or 3 from your group and one or two from the other groups.

No it’s impossible but I do like the groups because it’s usually gives the best sides a harder fixture and the worst sides an easier fixture. We are unlucky that one of our group in freo has improved by a lot. Also the other in our group Sydney actually finished 6th but lost their first final so ended up in our group. We could have got Essendon and west coast then it would be great. Melbourne potential had a hard start to the year but the good sides were out of form so it ended up a great start.There’s nothing equitable about the whole fixture.
Highmore - Battle - WilkieYou'd think young Japanese prospect Darragu Joycuru gets the nod this week
I reckon Highmore - Webster - Wilkie are the intercepting, mobile types and Battle/Joyce as the key backs.Highmore - Battle - Wilkie
Would he be one to many talls
Agree Highmore has to playI reckon Highmore - Webster - Wilkie are the intercepting, mobile types and Battle/Joyce as the key backs.
Would say something like
Webster - Joyce - Wilkie
Sinclair - Battle - Hill
Throw Highmore and Paton on the bench and move Sinclair and Hill to the wings if needed. Regardless I reckon Highmore definitely has to play and if we can fit him in he has to play the rest of the year too. Joyce for Howard seems like a straight swap for mine.
I was going to add to my last post but left it as is but what I was going to say is I think we have players that may be taller but can play on smalls. Paton is the obvious matchup for smalls but I reckon Wilkie & Webster both can play on those types.Agree Highmore has to play
Freo have a couple of good quick smalls, just worry about them a bit
