I spoke about it last week too in the lead up to last week's game. We can't play 4 talls forwards so I figured Charlie can move to the wing and play a midfield role something he played during his u18 days.

Charlie played as a key defender, ruckman, then key forward.  He did not play as a midfielder.

He'd be the linkman....will outrun most and out mark any....not sure what the problem is DJC?

A fit Charlie could play most spots IMO,  think we just need to look after him and not turn him into the next Andrew Walker who didnt know where he was playing from week to week. I'm still unsure if three talls down forward works better than two talls....Harry and McGovern have worked ok in tandem IMO and maybe depending on the opposition we need to change things up and not be so rigid playing three talls forward all the time even though it looks more menacing on paper

H marks strongly above his head when the ball is out in front or above his head. He has strong hangs and coupled with this height will be a defenders nightmare.
Gov seems to be more at home closer to goal. Whether it be sitting on their heads or out bodying one or two opponents. He then kicks straight from any angle. Can swing to defence and help there also.
Charlie's best position is around the 50m arc whether gathering the ball off the ground, on the lead or standing on their heads, then wielding around and having a ping.
If they play to those strengths and can keep out of each others way, they will trouble many defences.

to play brother Ben on Harry so they could have the right height matchup. Maybe the 3rd tall works this week for us...
