With Cottrell looking the goods, we now have an opportunity to make a surprise move and play SPS is an attacking role. Cottrell can do the defensive role, and looks to have some idea as a run-with player.
Polson I am not sure about. However, he has been doing well with the 2's, he does have some pace and his disposal is considerably improved (looks that way from the highlights of the 2's).
One thing that I have noted about SPS is that he has really improved his marking. In his first season he made an absolute mess of a number of high bombs. He just could read them. Maybe he didn't want to put his body in ...
Since then his contested marking has been a feature of his play. He rarely gets beaten in the air any more.
His defensive work has been pretty decent this year, but he hasn't shown any run from defence. Granted that Simmo and Doc tend to hog that role, but I could easily see SPS going for a dash if he had the confidence to do so. He doesn't seem to.
I would be considering Willo for a rest. he has been quite up and down of late. I would also consider giving him a different job, further up the ground. We don't get to see enough of his left foot.
We probably won't do either. We don't appear to experiment positionally with our players very often.
