    probably because he came in late, unfit and with almost zero game time. with a full pre-season there would be no reason to think he wouldn't replicate his later performances earlier on.

    burns ---- griff -----carney
    -----------taggz------------

    looks pretty appealing to me. could swap griff/taggz around pretty easily.

    If burns comes permanently I doubt it will be at the expense of a foreign no10 and striker. In a good position to have a lot of competition for places amongst decent quality and experienced players, this even factoring in hoole, Goodwin and virgili who now have some experience. Personally not really worried about upfront or midfield. It's all about the left side of back four, the left stopper and left back. Is it worth playing either carney or Goodwin there or should we be looking for someone.

    The wheels fell off last season when Burns left, at his peak he and Taggart were carrying the Jets. This without Joel or Carney as attacking options. Burns wouldn't come cheaply and would most certainly be at the expense of a No 10 or striker for the sort of coin he would command. Better the Burns we know than a another Jesper Hakkanson.

    The one game Burns had at No 10 he had Goodwin and Virgilli as wide options. In other words he had nothing to work with. Replace that with Griffiths and Carney and see how effective he can be at 10.

    Had heard there was J-league side after him

    Burns is not a No. 10

    But he will give us the attacking options we need when combined with Carney, Griffo, and others.

    Maybe so, but Burns is more a No 10 than Taggart or Griff. You could also rotate positions between Taggz, Griff and Burns

    Is the right answer

    Flores and Taggart up Front
    Griff Right
    Burns Left
    Carney Left Back

    Would just need a CB and a CM then.
    All this assuming Taggart will be here.

    Carney isnt a LB's arseh*le. Play Goodwun there and play Carney further forward.

    Don't know wether Goodwin has been poorly advised but have never understood why he hasn't solely focussed on being a LB. He is never going to cut it professionally as a LM and only ever seems to play well when up against inexperienced RB's. Should concentrate 100% on LB and see where that takes him.

    burns ---- griff -----carney
    -----------taggz------------

    If we had this would we really need one of these magical "number 10s" everyone in Australian football thinks you need?

    Depends on who's behind them. We need someone to link the defence to the attack.

    Agree 100%, hopefully stubbsy can re-inspire this idea
