Someone asked why would you take your best midfielder out of the middle.
The answer is to develop multiple players and make us harder to play against.
The Hawks always had multiple avenues to goal even when Dunstall was at his best.
St Kilda relied mostly on Lockett
I remember Raydan mounting an argument for Judd stepping away from the mid-field to let Paddy Cripps develop in a similar way.
I argued against it at the time thinking it was better for the young player to watch a champion at close hand.....but once Judd went out of the side Cripps stepped up very quickly.

The problem is we would probably have further short term pain while the young guys developed.
Can the club and coach afford that at this time.
