layzie 34,528 Posted January 31 Posted January 31 1 hour ago, Macca said: When we were are at our best, we often had Brayshaw playing as a defensive midfielder (as well as an attacking mid when it suited) Not sure that Petracca, Oliver or Viney can play that role as marking strength and the ability to spoil was part of Gus' role. Maybe Rivers? Not advocating Langford at half back or on a wing (Gus also played those roles at other times), but more so at the defensive side of the midfield sweeping from side to side We need some versatility in the midfield and that's maybe why we drafted Langford in the first place Of course, we could also play Langford as a forward mid or a HHF if augers well. Right now, Langford has the base attributes so we'll soon see where it all goes from here Always appreciate the outside of the box thinking Macca! 3 Quote

The role referenced fits in with defence-first mantra Last year the average score against us was 78 points where as in the 2021 premiership year it was 65 points. And a similar number in 2022 & 2023? 1 Quote
