Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 16: Carlton vs Fremantle

He may then need to go elsewhere to find a midfield role, depending on how others continue to develop.

And maybe that's the harsh reality, Fluffy One. I'd like to see him have a fair-dinkum crack at being a mid but we've a few very promising mids on our development radar who are bigger bodied. What Zachery offers to the midfield, though, is creativity and unpredictable/clever moves. Many blokes move through the midfield these days... perhaps Zachery is a wingman with license to get into the action? But he aint a small forward... and I don't think Owies is either.

At the moment Owies is not getting the no.1 small forward defender. Edwardo is... We have to be aggressive in the trade period and get a bona fide small forward. I wonder if Owies might actually be a better defender on small forwards (which would free up Stocker to get into the midfield)? Owies does read the game well, and has a dash of mongrel.

You cannot manufacture a small forward - they're a unique, instinctual breed.
