Reid to return down back in place of Langdon


I prefer Langdon.


In the long run I would prefer Mihocek or McLarty to either of them. There is a place for Langdon, coming off the bench to relieve on the halfback flank, but any team that plays a traditional tall centre half forward is going to outmark Langdon or Scharenberg. Reid had problems getting on the field in his prime, his fitness is going to be even more problematic in the twilight of his career.

Although he was recruited as a key defender, McLarty has been playing as a ruck/forward this year. Strangely Mihocek has played the last 2 VFL games up forward as well.

I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that we are getting by so well with Dunn, Howe and Scharenberg as out "bigs". Maybe the Howe's and Scharenberg's of the world are going to be the modern day KP back? Certainly also, they have Moore in mind as well. Conversely, there is little doubt that Reid is on his last legs and we are really short of options. It might also be a sign that Moore's hammy might take a loooong time to heal the second time and a sign that we havent decided for sure yet that Cox is the answer.
