It’s a pretty long bow for a criticism of Lyon.
As I read
this, if Hamling isn’t fit, and given the absence of Logue and Kersten, if Freo elects not to play either Cox or Nyhuis in the backline or they struggle, we shouldn’t play Hogan back because for years (but not this year) we didn’t have any forwards?
Teams need to be flexible. We’re a bit short in the backline, and we’ve got a bit of tall cover in the forward line. Maybe, as Lyon suggests, Cox or Nyhuis could do a job down there, but if they aren't getting the job done you’d be mad not to consider giving Hogan a crack.
