Wasn't he training/playing as a defender recently?

I know he played as a fwd in the practice match but I recall reading somewhere he was being used in defence since then.

correct, has been playing/training as a defender from last weeks tweets.

Switching to half-back in recent VFL practice games, he could also give Rutten another option to replace captain Dyson Heppell, who is unlikely to return from a back complaint.

The Bombers will make at least three forced changes when they name their line-up at 6:20pm on Friday, with Dylan Shiel (knee), Sam Draper (ankle) and Jye Caldwell (hamstring) casualties in last week's loss to Port Adelaide.

Fit-again forward Jake Stringer is a confirmed addition for his first game of the season, while Matt Guelfi is in the mix after a strong return from injury in the VFL on Saturday.

Ruckman Andrew Phillips is also available for selection after returning to full fitness.
