I’d bring in Miller and swing Balta around if Miller is getting his arse handed to him. Not flexible enough and is a bit of a spud.
Agree - personally I’d try Miller & Kosi as key backs at AFL level. Not convinced with Young anyway (terrible against Gold Coast) & Gibcus a terrible loss.This could be the silver lining to the Gibcus injury. Kosi is clearly not a forward. Maybe Full Back is his go. We know what Miller brings (all the attributes but no aggression or desperation). I'm still not sold on Young as he doesn't look AFL level to me. If Kosi can demonstrate aerial strength in the contest and one-on-one ability to negate, he doesn't need to be the best mark going around.
The club should give him a couple of games at FB in the magoos to see what they have to work with. It's back or it's bust I'm afraid. No time like the present to start it, but please, no trialling this in the AFL, that's what the VFL is for. Let him show his wares there first.
He was drafted as a KPD at Hawthorn. He failed there. Playing him as a forward was the lifeline that saved his career (or at least didn't end it). But then he started to flatline as a forward and that's how we got him for a coke and chips. I'm no great fan of Young and there is no harm in trying Koschitzke as a back (because we are stuck with him for like what 3 years?), but let's not pretend that it's not a long shot and hasn't already been tried.This could be the silver lining to the Gibcus injury.

As a forward, the best case scenario is to be whelmed by Kozi. He didn't achieve that yesterday.If the best thing you can say about your full-forward is 'his opponent doesn't mark it', maybe he's your fullback and you just don't know it yet.
Miller can play forward, back or ruck. There are certain problems but I wouldn't have thought flexibility was one.I’d bring in Miller and swing Balta around if Miller is getting his arse handed to him. Not flexible enough and is a bit of a spud.
Agreed.This guy is definitely not a forward. You can see it a mile away. He doesnt have the work rate or creativity or any x factor to make it as a forward.
He should be tried as a defender, to save his career.
The MC has already demoted him behind the Frenchman even though he finished last week with just one arm.This guy is definitely not a forward. You can see it a mile away. He doesnt have the ability, work rate, creativity or any x factor to make it as a forward.

Funky can play back and ruck As for playing forward he seems lost everytimeMiller can play forward, back or ruck. There are certain problems but I wouldn't have thought flexibility was one.
