North has found success with throwing Ziebell forward at various times and backing him one on one with an opponent, with reasonable success. Likewise Richmond with Martin.
Could we look at mixing our forward line around at times by doing the same thing with Gibbs. He's strong one on one, clean overhead and has a good goal sense.
On Fox Footy 30 secs ago, Eddie was interviewing Kane Cornes and I'M SURE he just signed off, in a lighthearted way and called him an 'old back and front', then quickly corrected himself. Wonder if anyone else heard it!!!!

We all love watching our kids play sports and encourage them to do their best.
When they do better than the time before, great! Personal best is something within everyone's reach if they put their mind to it. That 10k run, half marathon, the round of golf etc etc etc.
However when we are talking about 'elite' sports people who represent their country and put themselves up on the world stage, should we get excited that Lindy the Triple Looper came 23rd and posted a PB or Jason Backhander who made the 3rd round at the US Open, his best ever result.
On the world stage, is it only titles and Gold, Silver and Bronze that mean anything??
How can something that I supposed to be so exciting be so boring?
Major Flaw: If the first team makes 190+, the game can be all over after 5 overs of the second innings if they don't maintain the rate. Likewise, if a team bombs first up (under 120)....match gonski.
We haven't feature prominently in recent year in the NAB Rising Star nominations, which I think is a reflection of a number of things, but what are our chances in 2014?
Old new, I know, but was anyone else bemused on Tuesday when two stables admitted that they had broken a strict rule of racing, ie treating a horse on race day, yet they were both allowed to run? Ok 1 was the favourite, but the rule seemed to become very flexible at about 1 pm when the story broke.
A little inconsistent? Would the decision have been the same if it had been Mourayan at 100/1 (sound familiar 'would it have been the same if had been Knights instead of Hird?)
Interestingly, I reckon there are 4 out of the 5 who you could sit at a bar with and have a fair chat about life in general.....and there would be one who would be the classic fish out of water!!
