Why would you bring in a defender to replace a forward
Because the forward is a hack and you could replace him with a salt shaker and get a lift.
He could be sliced ham but he wont get dropped especially for this week's game
Besides the coaches love him and he is playing the role they want him too
Finally I don't think we can afford to have Post & Gourdis in the same team right at the minute, too similar in their decision making (read too reactive at times)
