Smiths theory preseason was to run players in alternate positions to safeguard against the worst injury eventualities. 2 problems with it being, i think the stage of development of this squad under smith that the basics (players in their majority positions) were the priority, and 2nd that im not sure what a couple of games in preseason would mean to the benefit of say Gannon needing to go in to the halves halfway through the season. I hope smiths long term vision stands that test of time and the squad has longevity because of his approach, otherwise we may see a different one taken next preseason.
