Robert Heatley Stand / What to do with Jack
He's out ,in and out again. Time on ground 37% last week.

I think he's one of our smarter players in terms of finding space. I also think he loves playing for us as much or more than anyone. He stands up and flies the flag without question.

I think his best position is forward. Charlie and especially Harry are being mauled by multiple players and yet we still kick it to them. If Jack was given some time ply his trade as a smart forward presenting another option (he is very evasive I think) rather than be used as a swingman (that's how it appears to me) we and he would be better off.  I'm not sure that he has enough pace off the mark to be effective down the back and or in the middle. I swear I've seen players , knowing Silvagni is on their hammer, take that extra moment to gather themselves because they know they can burn him off. Floating around as a smart forward presenting options is his best role in my opinion.

I write this because it rips me up to see a capable, smart guy who wants to be out there, who leaves nothing out there not getting a run.

Robert Heatley Stand / Give Harry a go
 :-\He's in his third year now (though his first he was probably never destined to play). Looking at Casboult on the tv the other night, it looks like he's peaked and won't be the focal point we need him to be. If Harry is fit and strong he needs to be in so we can find out if he is any good, and we need to persist with him for a while. Give him a six game run and see what he does. He gets his chance and (hopefully) he is on the end of better delivery so he can shine.

I've no ideas about his second efforts , work ethic etc.

thoughts?
