It's his lack of knowledge in the area you should be concerned about.

Yes great eh, McIntosh who was touted as one of our many attacking options last season has now been moved to the backline...... Circles anyone.

However I know some don't want him back there

WAT with respect hes been moved to HB for a couple of reasons

One is because he does soemthing so many pf our players refuse to do and thats run both ways, he actually will chase blokes when he doesnt have the ball

Two, he applies defensovw pressure

And three and most importantly he gives us much needed run off the backline and has reasonable disposal

Defending is only part of the  role

After yesterday, I reckon its a good idea, much better than Ellis B being back there

Pretty crappy when we have to put our best centre/forward in the backline with the rest of them to save us from utter humiliation isnt it.

FFS, even Jack went there at stages.

I was at the game, and plonking blokes in the backline to "stop the rot" isn't really trying guys in different positions.
I like the move of McIntosh to HB. We need bigger bodies in our backline. Hawthorn have Birchell and Straton as their running defenders and we have Ellis and Houli. Wowee
We are so extremely weak!

Yeah I realise all that but who don't we have now to take his role, musical positions and band aid solutions again to stop the leaking.

McIntosh was played back the previous week
Think the Ben Lennon down back might work also

True but played the entire game there this week

Lennon spent time at HB yesterday. Disposal was good, decision making OK, worth another go
