We actually used Kozzie in the centre square at the start of last year and then just stopped for some reason.

I love seeing him pinch hit in centre bounces, his speed and agility means he is almost impossible to tackle.

I feel like maybe they stopped because they felt they needed him forward, but realistically if he starts at a centre bounce 2-3 times a quarter he won't be spending much time outside the forward line.

It also gets him around the ball and builds confidence, which a small forward can lose if the ball isn't near them much during a game.

I would like to see our centre square setups to have 2 of the 'bulls' in Viney, Trac, Oliver and Sparrow and then include one of our more silky players like Pickett, Salem, Rivers and maybe even Windsor in the future.

Salem can’t play in the midfield as he is too undisciplined with tackling. He gives away too many frees due to dumping he opposing players. I do understand the method of the Oliver pairing though. Theoretically it has merit, But Salem is a nightmare to have in the middle, as every free kick he gives away halts our momentum.
