Deledio Must Move

[Smokey]

Surely we need more than 2 good ball users off half back. Currently the team has three at minimum unless matchups require additional tall defenders.

I agree that Newman and Connors are the obvious selections but the third small back would need to found to assist with midfield rotations, deliever the ball off half back and be able to shut down an opponent - no easy task. Conca and Batchelor could both fill this role (Batchelor particulary as he was recruited specifically for this role) but at this stage of the season and given their extrodinary lack of experience, is now the time to do this???

Webberley made a fair fist of it last season in his first year and that was the position/role he was drafted for.  Any of the Coburg watchers know what his current status is?  He didn't play at all in the pre-season that I can recall?

play him on the wing, and use him they way the use Edwards,
Pushing through the corridor.
Must be the release player and would like to see him as the "'inside F 50 "" player,
he is a great kick, club havent forgotten about that it seems.
"If " i coached him, the simple instruction would be is to "'play between the arcs""

Agree with Jack 100%. Lids is a ripper of a kick and he has plenty of toe so it seems logical that he'd be best suited on the wing.
Jack who would you replace him with in the backline? Connors? Morton? someone else??

[jackstar is back again]

Dimma has Connors and Morton to play on wings it seems.
Injuries have played a big part on the structure of the back 6. with Farmer and Moore unavailable.
Would possibly use Houli off half back. Farmer to play on opposition small forward with tall backs being Moore,Astbury,Thursfield, McGaune and Grimes, take your pick. Newman to marshall the troops with Batchelor playing off half back as well.
Why then play Lids in D50 ?????????????

[WA Tiger]

I agree, he can't keep playing in D50, we need some drive up the ground.

On saturday he did OK. Got involved a fair bit without doing anything spectacular - good or bad.

Think if you go back a year or 2 may find I raised this issue, thing was at the time we needed someone to shore up down back even though I still didn't like it. This year is the time to start moving him around. Play him centre moving forward we have another 20 odd goalkicker and he can move back in games where/as needed.

[Mr Magic]

Was a superstar at HB last year. Maintain the status quo and hope he plays better this week.

[Penelope]

wouldn't be too hard

[WA Tiger]

So he was obviously moved going by his stats, BOG and a goal....amazing that. Unfortunately he may find himself back there next week thanks to McGuane, I hope not, he needs to play up the ground now regardless.

Hats off Brett, takes a good player to play a great game. Takes a great player to play a bad game cop stick from all sorts and come out and play a great game.

I expect a lot from Lids, maybe to much at times but he was sensational tonight. Gave Goddard a bath, that is a massive scalp.

Cracks me up when people bag Lids
The guy has been our #1 player for 3 years now

PPL bag him sometimes bc they know he's capable of that, if he displays that form he'll be in the top 5 players in the AFL by seasons end - where he belongs! 30 touches, clutch goal and shutdown of prob the leagues best player all at once is pretty special. Step it up Brett and become a star

I'm a culprit for a bit to much 'Lid' love but his criticism for last week was warranted.

All class tonight hitting back at the critics.
