Kosi at CHF
Not sure whether this has been discussed, apologise if it has, but Kosi is listed at centre half forward for the game against Melbourne with McEvoy at full forward. I like the idea of Kosi getting greater opportunity for possession by being closer to the action. In my view, when he is stuck in the square he often seems to stagnate. Move him into the play and contributes more. Very much a confidence player who needs to feel thhe leather in his hands.
By the way, I almost feel sorry for the Dees as the Saints will deliver a strong message to the AFL and other clubs this weakend.
Thoughts?

With rotations and zones and the like specific positions are rather irrelevant I reckon.
To me seems you're a fwd, a back, or a mid and thats that.

"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

With Roo in the side he and Kosi rotated anyway.
They actually work very well together.
To those knocking Kosi, I actually thought he had a very big 3rd quarter v. Geelong after being "released" from a deep forward position and being able to roam like he does when rotating with Roo.
I think he had 7 possessions in the 3rd quarter plus put on a couple of big tackles and a few blocks to create space.
With the conditions making it difficult for tall guys.
Roo, Gram and Clarke are automatic inclusions, and Dawson's 195cm is probably needed on the last line of defence - so there will be 4 unlucky players at some stage soon.
Peake has consolidated (maybe in defence in Baker's absence because we have learnt a lesson from the Carlton, Essendon and Port Adelaide - Rodan - games).
Steven needs to keep going to become, hopefully, automatic.
Then there is Armitage.
And Miles should not be discounted given the internal write ups on him pre season - and his emergency "appearances" in 2009.
King should also not be discounted because there is no substitute for big, strong, experienced ruckmen when the whips are cracking.
That said, the amount of work and the class of that work Gardiner is doing at present is exceptional.
Winning form is always good form so the pressure will be right on - mind you any loss changes perceptions pretty quickly!
