I would like to see Jackson rested at coburg and tuck be given a shot in his role.

I know tuck is old and it goes
against hardwick youth policy but tuck is could play till 40 yoa and is a exception.

What order what you put our midfielders in now that we have Cousins to add to the mix?

If you have 3 across the middle, 2 following and 4 moving up from half forward/back (part time mids) and 2 on the bench that makes 11 at a stretch midfielder types in any team.

For mine -

1. Foley
2. Lids
3. Cousins
4. Tuck
5. White
6. Cotchin
7. Thomson
8. Tambling
9. Hislop
10. Johnson
11. Connors
12. Cogs
-----------
13. Jackson
14. Polo
16. Raines
17. King
18. Collins


I could see Hislop, Raines, King or Tambling playing as the running half backs and possibly Connors, White and Cotchin up the other end as crumbers/small forwards.

I have not put Richo, McMahon, Newman, Morton, Brown or Bowden into the midfield mix either but they frequently move up the ground (particularly Richo who plays on the wing) to rotate through this part of the ground.

So all in all, if you include Richo and co. we have 24 potential midfield/winger types competing for a maximum of 11 places and the difference between the players in minimial at best!

What would your order be?

Cotchin needs a stint at Coburg........but so does half the team.

Before we point fingers at Cotch how about Edwards Farmer Grigg Jackson Hislop as midfield types.
Jackson is way way overated. Awful display from a "leader" of the footy club.
Martin as a midfielder was most disappointing today. Not enough hard running when he does not have the ball. He is where our hopes and our future lies. Other aforementioned players were collectively very disappointing.

There is nothing to be lost by playing Tuck till the end of the season. Play him. Agree with comments we have a long way to go

Don't forget Cotchin and Martin are still babies.

what is going on with white, I thought he started to come good and something I have noticed this year is we are getting SLOOOOW compared to last year.  We had some serious toe when we started winning games now we are starting to turn into slugs.
