Moore will probably be playing by midseason. While he's a good defender our defence will be better without him. We tend to use him as a tall defender and he's usually outsized by 5-10cm and 10kg. He rarely plays fullback, but if he did we'd struggle. Being outsized like this is not what you want with one of your key defenders.
I don't agree.
The way I see it
grimes = full back.
Rance = chb.
Astbury and Moore should be the3rd back. I think I the future it's not unrealistic to have all 4 in the back 6 as a possibility.
Mcgaune chb at coburg thusty full back. Deapth player. Off one to goal coast/gws for decent picks.
the way i see it atm grimes = 3rd tall. astbury = chb. would as soon as possible or as soon as he strings some decent footy together give gourdis a go at fb. for me kel moore to play as a genuine flanker.
imo we are still screaming out for a 193 195cm 100kg fb.
grimes has all the attributes to play fb in time but i have real concerns about his size or weather he will ever bulk up enough to play the role.
one only has to look at what happened yesterday to see the need for a genuine big bodied no nonsense fb.
have said it many times will say it again. mcguane is a dud. and i still dont see rance making it especially in the air. really was comedy capers again with these two and graham.
for me with what players we have id like to see the back half go.
fb/ grimes - gourdis - batchelor/newman/farmer
hb moore - astbury/post - deledio/conca/dea
