    If Gardner was fit, wouldn't be play him in place of Crozier?

    Are they competing for the same spot? I don't think so.

    Yeah Gardner plays Cordy's role and Cordy moves into Crozier's third up kick it to no-one role.

    12 months ago I thought Cordy would struggle this year but in fairness he hasn't performed too badly at all.
    Sure it's Keath taking the oppositions best key forward most weeks but Cordy has done a better than decent job particularly in the absence of Gardner and that the MC doesn't appear to have a lot of faith in Young.
    Crozier hasn't been close to his best this year and given Dales outstanding form Crozier might now be seen as more of a depth player for us.

    Where does Richards fit in for you?

    Cordy has massively benefited from :
    1. Keith taking the number 1 defender and being a fantastic mark
    2. Revelation of Dale down back and being the rebounder. There is more to go with him, I think he could improve his pace and acceleration and really hurt teams like Zach Touhy
    3. General improvement in Duryea, Williams and Gardner.
    4. Depth in players knocking at the door: Roarke , Young, Richards. Wood, Crozier to name a few, and maybe Buku and Schache ( when MC realize MC backline is place to be for him)

    We can play Cordy with his short comings because of the overall fantastic improvement in our backline.

    Overall very pleased that Cordy is performing.

    With Libba being rested, I would love to see ‘Sonny’ Garcia given a chance in the centre as an in-and-under mid. I’d love to see a bit of mongrel at the ball.

    Cordy does seem to be a better match up for Burgess.
    I think that is the case. There will be other times when we will have 3 talls in defence.

    I like his enthusiasm and attack on the ball but am worried about him being undersized for an inside mid role. If he can carve out a role as a defensive small forward that may be his best option moving forward.

    We need one and he has the physical attributes to be that player. He's certainly an animal when the ball hits the ground and has shown he's handy inside F50.

    Richards for mine is on the opposite wing to Hunter.
    I will never see #16 the same!!
