It was only round 1 when he was leading up to the wings clunking everything. Took 11 marks against the Tigers to be one of our best.
Today is he dropping everything. Not sure a run in the backline will turn around his form.
You may be right and he is not suited to the backline.
I thought of it as a way of keeping him in the ones and getting some benefit if it works.
I'm against the idea of dropping him to the twos to find form as a forward. At present he has no confidence and cannot kick straight on grounds largely protected from the elements. At VFL level the grounds are largely unprotected from the wind - think of the game at Williamstown last week. Although he may get more opportunities, and even that is debatable, I just don't see it as a logical step to improving his mental state or kicking ability.
