It's in the middle that we're being thrashed apart from Walsh. Saad, Plowman and Docherty should be able to provide what's needed down back....and I'd be playing McGovern down there this week too. With Daniher, McStay and Hipwood we'll need someone else....and Williamson isn't the one.For sure Surfie we will need help down back, McStay is 196cm and he is the shortest out of those three talls so we need another tall defender, not sure about McGovern but no harm trying him there.
Similarly, Murphy should be playing in the guts....not as an outside small forward. If he can't do that, back to the VFL.
Williams is a midfielder in training and thats where the issue is IMO, you cant expect him to be totally across the position yet and
I think we will try and get a few goals out of him too while he plays a Martin type role and spends time forward and onball.
Murphy should be in the VFL now IMO, time to bite the bullet and play some kids in the roles they were recruited for.
eg Setterfield...been a mess this season IMO, timid and really out of sorts, perhaps time in the middle and back to his original role can shake him out of the lethargy he seems to be in. Ed Curnow has been a warrior but Setterfields time is now and I want to see him at the coalface getting more minutes than Ed....
