Luke Hodge

but there's no real connection in there.

At the same time, they've had to drop Witt to, he's been the leadership, he's been the core of that football club and understand the ruck rules have changed, so he might not be the best person in certain ruck contests, but he's also someone who can, I guess, galvanize that group because of the leadership role that he's been and how much he's loved by the players.

But I think that's the biggest issue from them is because they've got so many quality people that can go through there, they've almost got too many options.

So this is where it goes back to that conversation that we need to find our best balancing act for the last,

half of this season.

And that's what we're going to roll with.

And for the guys who aren't in that, hey, let's develop you to play a different position.

So then next year, it might be your turn.

If someone else leaves, but it's having that conversation, understand for us to play finals, we're on the fringe.

We know our best can beat anyone in this AFL.

There's no sure thing about that.

Their best can beat anyone, but their worst, their selfish football, them not playing to a role can lose to anyone in the AFL because in today's game, team footy can beat anyone.

So this is the conversation that would have to go back to them and just sort of say, understand where we're going as a group.

If you're not playing your A spot at the moment, let's develop your second spot, your third spot.

So then you're rounded.

You can play all these different positions for us.

So we're a better team if we need to throw things around later in the year.

If you look at what Geelong can do, they throw Dangerfield into the midfield, Holmes, okay, you go across the halfback.

Bailey, you can go into half forward.

They've got blitz halves who can play 18 different positions, but they've developed and they've matured their players to play different roles.
