Hi folks,

With Newton seemingly embracing the full forward position so well, wouldn't it be worth giving Neitzy some occasional game time at CHB?

He was an all Australian at CHB in his youth and certainly our back line has been our achilles heel this year. I would think that his tenacity and leadership in the back line (not to mention less twisting and a more straight ahead style would be slightly easier on his body) would be a suitable win /win for our team.

Then when Newts is struggling, we give David a bit of time up forward.

Thoughts?

Not a bad idea, but is he fit enough to go with some of the other CHB is the comp?

I don't know if I can see Neitz having the fitness to run a full game against a brown, riewoldt or lucas. But it is an interesting idea.

Thats what i mean, he may have started CHB but he will not end it there.

Neitz= Goal square forward Pocket

He can coach Newton at FF and teach him where to lead, etc

How about neitz at CHF and newts FF next season?

quite frankly I think he'd be mauled at CHB. Time is marching on...just a reality.

agreed, don't think he has the fitness but would otherwise be a good idea

That sounds pretty reasonable. Juice learning the trade at FF and neita delivering the ball and kicking a few goals

please keep in mind these are two quite different methods of play. As a forward. YOU are making the run.. You are initiating, YOU decide when and where to run. As the CHB you are REACTING to anothers positional play and lead. Youre doing this whilst reading the play and flight to estimate best defence. I dont think Neeta is anywhere near quick enough now to do this..

If he plays another year it wil have to be in some sort of forward role

Neitz is now too old for that caper. However a player with height and agility such as PJ may fit the bill at CHB or CHF?
