What I'd like to see as our back 6 for the remainder of the year
Grimes Rance McIntosh
Conca Elton Yarran
I thought Conca was doing ok at HB during preseason, so worth seeing him there till the end of the year. All things aside he puts his head over the footy and has a decent crack. Plus I don't think he can play anywhere else.
Yarran will be good for us when he is finally fit. He runs hard and is very good by foot.
Elton just needs to be given a chance to play on the oppositions "biggest" forward. He has had long enough in the twos to learn and we should give him a decent chance to prove himself. Give him a job every week and keep it simple for him.
Rance is just an out and out star of the comp.
Grimes is probably our most underrated player and one of our most important IMO. We have missed him since he got injured. Our backline is a lot better with him in it.
McIntish has done really well since going back. He is not a fantastic spoiler of the footy but should be played on smaller opponents. We desperately needs his run from the backline as he will give you 100% effort all day. Been one of the finds this year across HB and will get better with more time there.
That is 6 really solid, hard at the contest players. There is plenty of run amongst them which has been lacking this year.
Use the CEllis and Castgna's on the wing or across HF.
We need bigger bodies in the backline IMO.
Baring maybe Elton, that could be a decent back 6 for a long time. Replace him with Hurley and it's starting to look pretty good.
