what is this annoying myth Petrraca is carrying extra weight?. reports have been his skin folds etc ar excellent. his work rate and attitude are excellent. yes work on the tank but its annoying these comments are made but based on what ? if Dusty couldn't run all day then you'd be saying well its because hes fat.

Don't put words in my mouth. NO WHERE did I say he was fat or overweight. You made that up.

If he was leaner without loss of strength it would clearly be an advantage. In recent years we've seen that from Gawn, Hogan and a bunch of others. Couple that with a bigger tank and he would be better suited to the midfield. It works. 

Stop being such an outraged drama queen and read what is actually written

Harmes and Viney should both be used as defensive mids that run hard both ways in link up and can tag/defend.

That leaves Oliver (a very good tackler) and either Petracca or Gus as inside or outside mid.

I think it's clear that this should have been our set up for at least the past 12 months and it concerns me that Goodwin has failed to see this. It's the reason I now don't think he'll make it as our senior coach. However, let's hope he learns from this year.

I'd have runners on the wings. Langdon it seems and even someone like ANB.

I'd also push Melksham through the middle too on occasion. Hopefully he gets himself fit for 2020. His ball use is essential for a dangerous Melbourne forward of centre.
