Mayne would be better served playing off half back I think. he knows how to compete in the air, he is relatively quick off the mark and he can tackle. Or put him on the wing. But he is becoming a liability in front of goals. Worse than casboult from carlton.
I don't think it is all doom and gloom but I do feel it is time for some fresh blood in the side. They can't go whack and play them all at the same time. But we need to get game time into the likes of collins, blakely, langdon, grey and a pearce for starters. When apeness can prove his fitness I will be keen to see him back in action, especially if he can pinch hit in the ruck.
It wouldn't hurt mayne, or barlow to go back to peel and spend some time to get some confidence up. Barlow back at peel will hurt my fantasy team, but I'm prepared to cop a whack for that if it means freo improves.
