    Strap him onto Vandermeer's shoulders and watch them win a Brownlow.

    IDK what we do with Daniel. I get moving him around is unsettling but maybe Bevo is being protective of him when saying it's for the needs of the team. I think it's also at least partially due to hiding him.

    We're already playing one backman too many though. Can we still play Bramble & JJ in the same team, when they are similar players?

    Caleb's real one-wood is his ability & vision to pull off kicks in heavy traffic. The problem is our whole gameplan seems to have shifted away from having any traffic at all, it's all about getting speed on the ball and giving our tall forwards a run at it (hence Naughton and Marra being separated too).
    That's the nub: if we need Caleb, our gameplan has failed.

    Daniel is a mid-rotation as we don't have other roles for him and with Sanders getting first crack and Macrae barely hanging onto a spot, Daniel seems to be in that 22-25 bracket of players. He could play a HHF role as well as he does cover a lot of ground, but right now we've got VDM as 'the fast/selfless one', Weightman as 'the medium do it all' and West as the 'small/tough' one.
    We probably carry a mid/forward in our outside mid rotations but Gags and Baker are the first selected in that spot at the moment and if we go back to our "too many defenders" problem that means Williams gets pushed into this spot as well.

    I'd be playing him at the sixth forward. If we are going to insist on rolling one up to the stoppage, we may as well make it someone who can kick. Definitively needs some time at Footscray though, he was the obvious choice to get subbed out against Geelong.
