Buss, JOD, Croft all recruited for that backline role.

I think i meant (i dont know what i mean most of thw time) he was playing as a forward / ruck when we recruited him.
He played forward v Willy although I think weve mainly played him back.
He's got amazing athelticism for a big man, runs like a gazelle! Not sure he's a natural defender but probably more so than Darcy.
I raised this in the VFL thread on Saturday, the reason he has been forward is for team balance. Buss, Gardy and Keath have been deep so there isn't room for him. He was having a tough time of it so we swapped him with Gardy and it worked well, he took a few nice intercepting marks while Gardy actually hit the scoreboard.
He must be deveopled in defence at all costs hence if we need to find another role for Keath/Gardy then so be it. While we are on the topic Keath has been moving well the last few weeks he looks fitter then Gardy but you still have to hold your breath while he has ball in hand.
Buss looks great with ball in hand and has improved the last fortnight but he isn't dominating in the air, I still think he is well of the pace.
