I wouldn't call best 22 players depth players lol

[valkorum]

So you'd rather play midfielders in defense than defenders? Interesting..

Most teams have midfielders off the half back line.

I wouldn't call best 22 players depth players lol

I was naming the list of players who play through there and putting Yeo where I think he sits.

[Mailman the 2nd]

But you kinda missed the whole point of depth players :P (who are people who don't play in the best 22)

[Ricochet]

He'd be after Silvagni and Sutcliffe in terms of depth in our backline

Actually the point being is that we would move Hill, Pearce and Sutcliffe to the backline before playing Yeo.  We would bring in another midfielder to replace their rotation in the midfield.

That might work most of the time, but you run the risk of burning out those players from too much game time. I wouldn't really know though because Sydney barely gets any AFL games broadcasted :/

How are you burning out the players?  You are moving them from the midfield to the backline then bringing in another midfielder to play in the midfield.

Reid definitely staying at Sydney
Paul Connors "He will be playing at Sydney next year. They will explore him playing back, because of the success of his brother"

Apparently X Ellis has had a medical with Freo

[Ricochet]

Would love to know why Freo are interested in him. Like what role they would give him?

[Cicjose]

half back flank i would have thought

[elephants]

Somewhere where he can't get injured.

[nas]

Somewhere where he can't get injured.

Give him & Gumby a set of steps to get over the white line to avoid any injuries

Its interesting, these two trades could make 2014 for the Dockers or end up like Brisbane and Fevola

[Ricochet]

I have always rated Gumby's ability and character, but there was one stat that I saw today that worried me a tad. It was something like, Gumbleton competed in 22 one-on-one contests in 2013 and won zero. He did only play 5 full games though (2 subbed games)
