Spida's average early 2006 form aside, would we have been better off taking a more merciless approach and making the Jolly swap, leaving Spida to lead Doyle and Chambers around?

I suspect not, Peter is a fairly self-centred type, brilliant footy mind on the field, but has a lot of flaws.

My biggest gripe with Chambers is that he needs a shave, a haircut you can set your watch by and better body language.

As yet, me or the press don't think he's colourful, so

I don't think he's the reason we're doing so poorly in the centre. He has managed to get his hands on a few good taps, but struggles to find our players. But I think that is a rarity anyway - all he needs to do is provide a decent contest and he does that.

His bigger problem is around the ground. He does nothing and seems to lack general awareness.

This goes to the heart of the issue. What is his role in the team?

If you take the argument that we were premiers by being number 1 in Hit outs and in tackles, then I think he fills the role nicely, he gets hit outs and makes tackles.

After 2 games and 2 losses we were 13th for hitouts and tackles.

This week a win, and we are 2nd in hitouts and 1st in tackles.

I leave you to draw your own conclusions.
