    O'Keefe up front?

    One of the commentators said the other night that ROK would go well right down the front. He's a great kick and really strong overhead mark, and so I get where they are coming from and agree, but gee, he's such a powerhouse where he is at the moment, running all over the show and pulling of genius moves left right and centre, I dont know that we could afford to have him up front?

      I dont think we could afford at the moment to have him up front, but I have always thought he would make an absolute cracking True CHF (Just look at the West Coast at Subiaco game I think it was last year kicked 4 or 5 in about a 1/4 and a half of footy). He adds to much with his work all around the ground to play solely as a forward but Id like to see him rotated a bit more up there- he very rarely is seen playing out of the forward 50 anymore and his kicking at goal is struggling due in part to this.

          If he is fit he should play as a ruck rover replacing Goodes. Our forward line should be Big Beamish and Teddy Richards and a heap of crumbers - McVeigh, Bevo, Moore, Vezpremi and O'Dwyer. We need speed and plenty of tackle to hold it in and stop the Doggies run.

              We need him across half forward and in centre. Besides, his goal kicking this year from set shots is crap.

                  ROK's like most of our forwards or would-be forwards = can't kick straight.

                      And expected to play as a midfielder (unless you are MOL)

                              He used to kick straight. He's been watching Buddy.
