I know you arenot a fan of Trengove, but he has been very good the last 3 weeks playing in the backline. I would like him to stay down there and gel with the other back 5

Trengove got cained on the weekend by the Melbourne talls. They had a ball. He has no awareness as to where his opponent is going or where he is.

Which other 5 do you have in mind?

He's been good the last few weeks. I'd challenge any key back to hold his own against the onslaught on the weekend. He was up against some good users up the ground and it was coming in regularly in the second half.

yeah that is hard to pick with so many rolling through there. I would say Wood, Morris, Williams and Suckling are pretty well set there as is Cordy when he gets back.

We tend to play 7 backs and rotate one runner through the bench, so I'd add Naughton. He seems a lock when fit already even though it's his first season.
Richards as well - he was marginal for a couple of games after his debut but is just looking more and more comfortable.
If Morris plays on next year it will almost certainly be his last and Suckling will try for the NFL sooner rather than later. It's still in a transition phase for mine.

Can we play play Morris & Cordy in the same defence? Both aren't big enough to take the big guys, even though we ask them to, and aren't elite interceptors or users of the ball.
If and when we have a fit list it's going to be hard to hit 10 into 7 spots.

Morris really doesn't play the talls anymore, or shouldn't.
JJ is another, but he is playing more wing now, which is where I like him.

Why?
JJ has been very poor playing across half forward and the wing.
He should be dropped IMO.
That aside, clearly he's a half back flanker who *may* be able to offer stints elsewhere but he certainly shouldn't be playing bulk minutes in the midfield or forward because his impact is very limited.

I don't like him at half forward either, I am talking more a wingman, which I see as someone feeding the forwards.

He's not overly quick, he's not a goal kicking mid and he hasn't got great skills.
I'd describe him as an adequate kick who is an absolute bull with leadership qualities. Could we do with him? Absolutely, but not sure he addresses some of our main concerns in the midfield and given what he'd cost, I don't think it would be a clear cut decision.
Those who know the draft well might be able to comment better.
I could also be convinced otherwise.
You win premierships if you have a team full of players with the qualities he does have tho. We did.

The trouble is he isn't the most accurate kick and the most difficult place on the ground to hit up a target is the forward 50. Even in the grand final he missed quite a few targets.
I would prefer he gets the bulk of his possessions in the back half and mostly tries to hit up targets across half forward where it's a little easier.

he got quite a few possessions against the dees and a lot of them contested. he made some poor kicks, but he was involved pretty consistently throughout the game. I think he could improve as someone plays in the forward half of the ground which I guess at the moment is out of his comfort zone, but realistically, who is pushing him out of that position? nobody.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Just looking ahead then we have Cordy Wood Adams Naughton Young and Trengove all in the backline with Williams, JJ Suckling and Richards as the flankers. Um What gives? Should we start developing Young as a forward? thoughts?
