    Adam White on RSN mentioned it during the week and even last week from memory.

    Then I heard snippets from Matthew Lloyd and a couple of others.
    More of an In Bruges guy?

    It's interesting:-

    Play a key defender in a key defensive post - tick, opposition and one of the games best key forwards kept goalless, also allowed Cordy to chop in the ruck where he did OK
    Play Dunks in the middle - tick, Dunks monstered them around the clearance and Bont had even more swagger with his mate in there

    Trengove won't always get a match up like that which suits him, but hopefully we continue to see a side each week with either Trengove or Lewy down back, subject to the speed and agility of the opposition player.

    Trengove also did well against the Freo Talls, they didn't score at all.

    Re: Is Bevo Under Pressure to Perform this Year?

    Why is it a surprise that playing players in their best position yields better results? Dunkley was fantastic and his role is critical to Bont. It’s ridiculous it took this long to roll out after Joshs big finish to last year.

    Reality is we should only play two of Libba, Wallis and McLean. Dunkley is a beast mid and Libba is too, which means it comes down to one of Wallis and McLean. Otherwise we’re stuck continually playing multiple mids as forwards

    Maybe we can play both McLean and Wallis, just not at the same time on the ground. I think both have something to offer the team. I’d rather see McLean more mid and Wallis more fwd though.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    I heard Collingwood really gave it Libba and he hasn't been the same since, ie still recovering a bit. He started in the forward line again last night, and slowly got back into the midfield.

    Many on here wanted to drop Dunks last week, but I thought he played his best game for the year against Freo. Last night in his 50th, he was a beast.

    Unless he played in the middle. Guess what he did last night?

    Interesting about Libba, can you elaborate?
