Everitt's best as a running/lockdown small back or a tagger. Capable of playing everywhere but ruck though.
If you can imagine the ruckman tapping the ball in their direction, and that player being able to collect that ball in a heated contest and cleanly dispose of that ball to a team-mate, that's what you want. It's basically a midfielder with grunt / who is quick off the mark. If you're looking for stats to give you a fair indicator when looking up players, high averages for Clearances and Contested Possessions is the best indicator imo. Same thing applies to centres. You can probably read their effective disposal efficiency, too. Problem with imagining Hale in that position is that, can you imagine that guy out-sprinting guys like Beams, Pendlebury, Ablett, or Dangerfield? He's a fantastic relief-ruckman and forward, though. Overhead mark is brilliant.
Not quite sure what I need now. Probably got enough talks - presumably a few more smells would be in order. Wouldn't mind another mid, but they seem in short supply right now. Probably a third ruckman wouldn't go amiss.

I'm assuming that where I've got Andrejs Everitt isn't the best idea - so could do with someone to fill that role. At least I have a second backup for Coxy this season. Any suggestions are welcome. Cameron Pedersen has played at CHF this season, otherwise I think that might be where I'm short. Then I could play Everitt at Back Pocket ahead of one of the Gwilts or HBF ahead of Haynes?
Perhaps this?

You've got a lot of SDs, really. Haynes, Mackie, Jaensch, Hanley, Sutcliffe, Williams and Baguley are all starter quality SDs. I'd play Baguley over Everitt (though Everitt is a perfect Bench player as he can cover anywhere and play as your tagger which you don't really have). Newnes also should be on your bench.

Hanley back into defence? Isn't my weakness here a lack of quality midfielders? Wouldn't I be making that worse by moving Hanley back? Also, could Jaensch play forward? I guess he's been a much more successful player since the Crows have been playing him HBF. So, perhaps Marley Williams on the trade block. He was a round 30 retention so must be worth a few bob. And of course a couple of Gwilts.
