Like everyone else I'm very excited about Lids going to the midfielder.
However, it remains to be seen if he can actually succeed in this position. Last 2 years Lids has been in the extended AA squad as a half bank flanker, and I suspect this is his best position. As a midfielder Lids doesn't read the play like a Cotchin, Mark Murphy, Selwood, etc...
i know this view won't be popular, and i really hope I'm wrong
