I agree with this, imo, Moore really needs to be 'clearly' the 3rd tall at this point of his career and would benefit greatly by having someone like Reid along side him.
I'd like to see a forward line consisting of at least these 4 Moore, Reid, Elliot, Sidebottom, plus another tall (White suxs but there you go...), and whatever player at that point of time that balances the situation of the game. |
I can see the attraction, but I think that Reid's calf issues started (and persisted) when he was moved forward, and I have always wondered whether this related to the run-forward-and-turn nature of forward work, compared to the more straight-line work of a backman. One for the fitness staff, I guess, but I'd hate to lose him from both again..... |
I see what you're saying re Reid and I'm happy with that but... if Moore doesn't get more help up forward and have the focus taken off him compared to others then we might as well play him back and have an awesome half back line. |

We need both Howe and Reid in defence, where they provide the silk.
To fix our forward problems I'd rather we go smaller and drop Cox for another small like Elliott or (eventually) Kirby. |

Howe was recruited to be a forward, didn't make the grade there, and was shifted back.
Question is whether he has improved since then as a forward. He is probably worth a look again in the forward line as he should have a lot more confidence now as a in form Collingwood player, as against his first few games with the club
we have a lot more defensive options than possible forwards with a bit of flair. |

While he was recruited for a high HF-wing type role I'd hardly think his first game or 2 at a new club off the back of an interupted preseason is proof positive he's not up to that role longer term. At the moment it's more about team needs but I'd think both the club and Howe himself would like to revisit it at some stage. An alternative HBFer has to emerge first. |

His name is Hoskin-Elliott. |

I'd rather see him forward or wing. At least until an alternative emerges from the medical room or the new recruits. It is certainly a role he could do, particularly if you had a Langdon type back there as well for the intercept marking. Wells would also be an option. |

Both.
He's good in both roles and can swing either way when needed.
Question is, did the Melbourne supporters boo him? Will they boo him again?
