They'll try fit him in, how I've no idea. Is it at the expense or cox? WHE?Anyone else wondering about the shape of our forward line this season? Even allowing for rotations, it’s hard to see how we fit in all of:
Checkers
McStay
Membrey
Resting Ruck?
Elliott
Hill
Schultz
DeGoey?
McCreery
Hoskin Elliott?
Sidebottom?
Personally, I don’t think we recruited Membrey to play VFL. I expect to see him in our AFL side from the opening game.
I’m very keen to hear how our training-watchers think the puzzle will fit together.

I would be surprised if we don’t see Steele permanently midfield following his efforts late season in a negating role. I also don’t see a scenario where JDG isn’t selected on the basis of being a mid. I’m sure he’ll spend time forward, but when he does one of McReery, Shoota or Elliott probably role up field.Anyone else wondering about the shape of our forward line this season?

Not sure Howe will be needed much up forward in 2025 given we’ll likely be running with 3 talls already now Membrey is with us. We’d likely have to be getting a shocking key forward injury run like 2024 for that to be a possibility.Also if he goes well down back could also help free up Howe to go forward more often. Good to have versatility if needed.

Does Bobby play more on the wing then? How damaging could he be having that freedom delivering into the forward line.Sidebottom has all the tools to be a quality half forward/ forward pocket type player.
His goal nous is exceptional and can find the ball easily
Smooth left and right too …he should be playing more forward of centre this season
Perhaps, but he's already a premiership player.Unfortunately this will be oleg Markovs last year at the pies and probably the AFL
5 years ago, maybe. He doesn't have the agility to hold down this position in 2025. His go remains his gut running and distribution as a link player.Sidebottom has all the tools to be a quality half forward/ forward pocket type player.

Can’t answer these. They’re great questions, but to intangible for anyone to properly answer without being on the inside. I also expect Naicos would be top of the pops for most of these if he’d been in full training post Christmas…
I’ve never liked the two ruck strategy and always felt what you’re trying to peg back at stoppage should be gained at ground level, but I think the club are wedded to it. The answer for me then is, based on what I’ve seen, who will link and contest best. At a guess in a perfect world WHE and Membrey are competing for one spot as the rotation forward. I probably prefer WHE because he offers more positional flexibility, but 6 of one half dozen the other.
And some people think he won’t be in the best 23…
What!?Any ACL concerns with McStay?
