Former Melbourne forward Garry Lyon says the Cats have got it wrong when it comes to Tom Hawkins' partner in crown in the forward line this season.
All-Australian defender Harry Taylor has been training in the forward line this pre-season and is set to form a partnership with Hawkins this year as Geelong looks to add another key tall in the front third.
However, SEN Breakfast host, Lyon, said Geelong should keep Taylor in the defensive 50.
โIโm not sure what they (Geelong) are doing with Harry Taylor,โ he said onย SEN on Friday morning.
โIf they have invested in a summer of playing him forward or training him forward, then theyโve got to give it a chance to work. It doesnโt appear to me as if itโs anywhere close to working."
Lyon instead suggested moving Lachie Henderson forward wouldย be a better option for the Cats.
โLachie Henderson, to me, has a better chance of being a forward than Harry Taylor,โ Lyon said.
โFrom the outside looking in, Iโd say they have got that wrong.
โIโd say Henderson is your man to go forward and partner Tom Hawkins.
โThey do need another good sized forward. (Mitch) Clark and (Nathan) Vardy were the two they had pencilled in to play that role and they both, for different reasons, havenโt been able to work.
โI think Henderson is a more natural forward than Harry Taylor.โ
Taylor has kicked two goals in three games in the JLT Series.
