Where does Boak fit into the mix next year? Talk of Rockliff/Gray rotating HFF/Mid - wasn't that the role Boak played this year?

It was and I don't know what 2018 holds for Boaky. Might see him out on a wing or at half forward.
Wines, SPP, Ebert and Rockliff playing inside roles, Boak, Polec, Motlop playing outside roles. One thing for sure is that if Boak is used on the outside more then he needs to tidy up his disposal, he's been pretty average by foot for a while now.
I'll be more interested in what they do with Westhoff if we get Watts.

I thought they may use Watts swapping in the ruck with Ryder from the FP? Westhoff to continue playing on a Wing
What does your Round 1 lineup look like?
F: Watts, Dixon, Wingard
HF: Motlop, Marshall, Gray
C: Westhoff, Wines, Polec
HB: Byrne-Jones, Howard, Hartlett
B: Pittard, Clurey, Bonner
Ruck: Ryder, Rockliff, Ebert
Int: Boak, Powell-Pepper, Houston, Johnson
What about Ebert to the wing, Westhoff HBF, Byrne-Jones BP, Pittard out?

I'd like to see him play off a HFF and drift across the half back line when kicking into the breeze, roam around and use his footy brain to work out where he needs to be on the oval.
His late season form was excellent.amber_fluid wrote:Lightning McQueen wrote:Booney wrote:The Bedge wrote:Where does Boak fit into the mix next year? Talk of Rockliff/Gray rotating HFF/Mid - wasn't that the role Boak played this year?

You guys are getting mixed up with the Boak who played in 2013 and 2014 who had some leg speed(was never quick though) and used the ball well.
This Boak is too slow to play as an outside mid and his disposal is not what it use to be.
He might be playing off the bench for most of the year I’d say.

Please recruit Watts and hinder the progress of a promsing young forward.

Now, now...while I think Marshall has a bright future ahead of him I'm a little reluctant to throw him in the deep in for a full season of playing a key position in his current physical form. I'd have him in my plans for 2018, but I'd also have him playing 60 or 70% of the games. He's completely different to SPP, Wines and co. who can come in and play full seasons in their first year, we need to be mindful of managing him early.

As opposed to a knockout final when Trengrove was available?
