Boogs to play in Jedi's old position at DM

[blastbum]

Not sure if any of you saw this coming, but Lawrie has shown his hand and will be playing Boogs at DM to plug the hole left by Mile Jedinak. According to the below article, Stringers will partner Wilko in defence and Pedj will play LB. The article didn't say who will be playing at RB.

If he's risking Pedj he's probably risking Porter too. Behave boys.

Good to see the gaffer thinks that all games are important. We need a win. We cannot go into the finals losing our last 3 games against all the teams in the finals. The gaffer is playing his hand so if players like Bojic cannot stay out of trouble he has the replacements to bring in as cover. With Boogs coming in it also probably shows Lawrie playing 4-4-2 with Adrian at AM, Hutch on left.

Seeing the youth game against Perth meant that I saw it coming and actually predicted him to start in this role 2 games ago before he reinjured himself. He was looking alright playing this role with the youth team, wait and see how he copes with the big boys though.

Still not sure if we will see it this week as I think this article may be mind games.

Given the talent we have available it's seems the best positioning.

I think Lawrie is trying hard to get Boogs into the lineup but not expose his backline to a slower defender.

Boogs pulls off some great scramble tackles on the run. His heading is great, and he has some good positional sense.

It's his off the mark speed and his ability to turn and chase quickly that I have issues with.

By playing him a bit further up, and in the centre of the park, he has backup in the CBs should someone slip by him, and can also try to get back as another defender rather than trying to mark up to a fast winger if he was to play out wide as a RB or LB.

Played awesome in the first half in the role and i personally beleive we hav found a replacement for jedinak, and surprisingly showed some alright pace tonght and didnt schooled even when he went back to right back

Some of his passing was a bit ordinary though and will have to be worked on. But all in all it wasn't a bad effort.

Still distribution was better than Mile's, though that is not saying much

Passing was overall terrible last night - especially in the front third

As we were saying last night, we are 1 last pass away from being a very good side.

God help the side we are playing when it clicks
