Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 2919732, member: 8814"] I totally agree we need to match these teams in the middle and earn it, that was why I emphasised "IF TPJ or lodge can match them". We wouldn't have 5 forwards in the game, we'd have 8-9. The bench plays a role and would continue to do so. We didn't beat them with a power game btw. We played aggressive in the middle, totally different. McGuire (our smallest forward) was the only one who made more or got even close to 150 metres. That's less then power game forwards average. I'm not saying it will 100% work. I'm not saying it is better then what we currently have. I'm not even suggesting it is birds best position (an aggressive centre (eg Inglis in origin) can have even more impact in a game offensively and defensively). What I am thinking though is, if we try to be the storm or the cowboys we will do well, but we will always be 2nd or 3rd best at it. Bennett will have to weigh up at some point later on in the season whether we need something different to what the rest of the comp is offering to bring home a trophy or whether we keep playing it safe with what we know works. I know it's not a similar positional switch but hodges continuing to get picked over hunt in 2006 was a similar situation in regards to a decision that gave us a point of difference and was outside what every other team was using in that position. Then again, so was Thaiday to hooker lol so who knows... [/QUOTE]
