I'm thinking Averillo in the the centers ,BBO in the halves, Schoup bench.BBO on the bench so where does he go? I want BBO starting and if he is avo will be on the bench.

yes they did in world war 1 or was it 2?But no one got killed over that
As you know and I know and everybody on this Forum keeps saying, Averillo is not the answer to partner Burton in the halves, Averillo got a lot of time in the halves this season but not a full season ( as you say ). He was swapped around with , Lewis, Flannagan, Wakem & BBO because we were looking for someone better especially towards the end of the season when Gus came on board, So unless they buy an experienced halfback it will probably be between Averillo and BBO. However seeing that they already seem to have plans for the Dummy Half position by bringing in Cook, and if they do buy a halfback, Then where are you going to slot in Averillo, BBO ?. Averillo is very versatile and can cover a few different positions, His faster and more elusive than Schoup and played Center in junior league so that's why they will probably play him in the center, Also should a half, fullback or winger get injured or suspended he is already on the field for a reshuffle. (My opinion) .Yeah ok after giving averillo a full season worth of experience playing in the halves, Swap him for a player thats got like 5 first grade games to his name and none in the halves.
I think teams should not carry a centre or winger on the bench. It’s a waste of space. The utility you carry on the bench needs to be able to play at least 2-3 positions in my viewI'm thinking Averillo in the the centers ,BBO in the halves, Schoup bench.
I don't know if you read my post after the one you replied to, but that was the point I was trying to make about Playing Averillo as a center next year because he has the pace to keep up with the likes of Naden, Burton, Dufty, JAC & Cotric also he can cover other positions should there be a an injury or sinbin on the field to other key players from 1 to 7, he would be perfect to go into a reshuffle to handle any of these positions. I believe Averillo played most of his Junior football at Center so he can handle the position and we would have a perfectly good utility player already on the field thus saving bench space.I think teams should not carry a centre or winger on the bench.

Wouldn't be to hard to be abetter half than what we had for a few years now.He is better than half the team and a better half than we have now.
Sorry missed that post. But yes you’re right, Averillo though already on the field can be used as the utility player if neededI don't know if you read my post after the one you replied to, but that was the point I was trying to make about Playing Averillo as a center next year because he has the pace to keep up with the likes of Naden, Burton, Dufty, JAC & Cotric also he can cover other positions should there be a an injury or sinbin on the field to other key players from 1 to 7, he would be perfect to go into a reshuffle to handle any of these positions.

the more quality players, players coming from better systems like FOX and Burton, hopefully all the players improve from the back of that.I know he is only new to FG but i'd boot Stimson out Patolo in on the bench assuming he trains the house down this summer, with Paul Vaughan to show one of his benefits to the Dog's by taking him under his wing so to speak and helping develop the kid.
