Thinking outside the square - (Binman may have the reasons why this isn't a good idea). I watched Casey(our 2nds) for the 1st time this year and was amazed by how athletic Majak is (and how good Turner is). In the tradition of role players (Spargo etc.)-- I was wondering if its worth trying a diff forward approach - namely playing Majak deep forward as a compliment to our leading forwards and smalls. The guy wont get moved off the ball (watching our forwards in both 1st and 2nds it was happening frequently) in a mark or ruck contest - he is a great tap ruck (good to keep forward half pressure from a well directed tap), has a good one grab mark, and a great leap for such a big guy - his job isn't necessarily to kick goals but rather keep one of the oppositions bigger backmen accountable and create opportunities for all our forwards. As a bail out to the top of the square - or as an isolated mismatch to the top of square he has some handy attributes (mentioned above). He would be handy re blocking for other forwards leads (has the size) - a role TMac does for BBB. He is unlikely to get out marked so ball is coming to ground. Haven't seen Casey much so others may know better but I just like the idea of a designated forward whose role it is to largely benefit the other forwards both big and small. Regards Skieta
