I heard he injured his shoulder badly and may be out for the year. LTIL a possibility which means one of the rookies could be promoted.

so with at least two players gone long term, no need to put Fraze on the LTI list.

He's either a scorps player and emergency backup for the Saints or retires IMO.

Only worth doing if there is a rookie worth promoting.

IMO no harm done keeping on the list until the end of the season. Will always require a quality defender minding him when he is included.

I assume you mean Gehrig, the same one that Scarlett ran off from and was BOG against us, after Gehrig was used as a decoy.

Yes, but not all teams have a Scarlett in them. Frase should have been moved into the backline when that happened, and replaced with a tall.

Who would he have played on? Would have had 4 goals kicked against him.

My point is you have to play him as a goalkicking forward, or not at all.

He can slot them from on the boundary, 50 out. So have him roam there, Allen in the other pocket, and Kosi deep.

This is the only way the 3 tall forward structure can work. I'm still fuming at John Barker's inability to come up with a forward structure that works in our embarrassment of riches up there.

If i put "IMO" or "in my opinion" in every post I made, it would start to get annoying.

Our forward line is stifled at the moment, it's a combination of lack of structure, lack of communication, and running up and down both ends of the ground for 90% of the game.

Feel free to offer alternatives.

Hawthorn has got it's forward structure right, but then they didn't employ John Barker immediately after his playing career finished.

Connors did his shoulder playing for Casey two weeks ago.
Casey Trainer said he's out for the season but she could be wrong.
