Hardwick's stubborness probably got Mansell 3 more games than he should have.

Hoping Dimma is just as stubborn when it comes to evaluating whether Jack Ross gets one game or five.

I'd say Miller will sub for Soldo. Seems a bit rushed bringing him back.

Soldo will not remember what sport he is playing on Sunday.

Short came to us as a forward, we turned him into a JDM winning HBF
Baker came to use as a forward, we turned him into an outstanding HBF
Rioli came to us as a forward, we used him there and then turned him into 1 of the best HBFs in the game

We know when to move players to different roles.

Bauer came to us as a forward (having played there for a half a season very well for whichever team it was in Adelaide). We started him there as that's where he was drafted, and are trialling him down back where he is thriving. I'm not sure why there are so many on here that want to bag the club out for this, we find the positions that suit the players the best.

You make some good points in your post but I just wanted to highlight this little section.

So, 3 players turned into HBFs, and Bauer going back too.

FFS, there are 2 HBFers in any team, how many do we need?

Stop trying to turn every player into a HBF, we need forwards!

Haha yeah I know you've been banging this drum for a while.

I think you could be right as Bauer as a forward, he's looked good at VFL level but being a bit undersized you need to have 1 of 3 things. Immense strength (think Jack Darling), very good speed off the mark or incredible smarts (ala Jack). If you can't generate seperation at the top level either with strength, speed or smarts, you will struggle at the top level.

I agree with you, he reads the ball beautifully which sets him up perfectly for defence. If you read the ball better, you can intercept mark and if your forward leads you to the ball, being a bit smaller means its easier to punch than outmark hence why its a bit easier to play undersized in the backline than it is forward.

Agree Posh, but one other "S" attribute (along with strength, smarts, speed) you missed that forwards can have that hugely assists is Spring.

Jack had it. As have many others over the years. Curnow, Bolton, Naughton, Ryan of current players that can use elevation to separate themselves from defenders.

Why Leysy thinks Gibcus will be tried up forward when he returns.

Injuries have given us the chance to actually play the kids and find out about them at AFL level.

Yes could be Hardwick being stubborn or could be him making decisions on who will be a long term player for us.

Has done this in the past early in the season
