Andrew Walker Carlton's leading goalkicker in 2011 could be headed for more game time in the midfield.

"The only issue I've got at the moment is that the midfield coaches are pretty keen to get him back into that part of the ground, so we're having a bit of a tug of war at the moment about where he'll play."

Should that happen, though, the trade-off could be having more access to Bryce Gibbs in a forward role.

"I'll be happy to cop it if I get Gibbsy in return," Barker said.

Does this mean Gibbs scoring potential may drop from being a pure mid?

And since Gibbs is moving up forward and Walker to the middle that means Judd will be moving to the defense playing as a KPP! :o

Not really sure M.Murphy gets forward and kicks a few goals and it doesnt affect his scoring so maybe not. We dont know yet if this is going to happen so i wouldnt worry about it id keep an eye on him in the nab
