ALEX Fasolo doesn't know whether he'll play forward or back against Melbourne on Queen's Birthday, but that suits him just fine.
The 21-year-old appeared to have found a niche as a rebounding defender after spending the summer months training with the defence, but played forward against St Kilda on Friday night and kicked four goals.
Fasolo joked that he told coach Nathan Buckley he'd "had enough of defence" and that "it was time to pull the pin", but then suggested his new-found versatility had helped to cement his spot in the senior side.
"It's good to be playing forward again," Fasolo said.
"I went forward at half time against West Coast (in Round 10) and again that's just the way the modern game is, if things need to be changed up or if a couple of players go down, it's handy for me that I do have the capability of going forward.
"These days you can't keep your spot if you only play one role.
"The call was made pre-season ... Bucks said it would be good for my development to play down back, teach me to defend, because that's the part of my game I'm trying to get better at."
Fasolo kicked 44 goals in 37 games in 2011-12, his first two seasons.
Asked where he would line up against the Demons next week, Fasolo said: "I don't know."
"Maxy (Nick Maxwell) went down with a calf, so that might contribute to the decision. It really depends on who gets up and then what the coaching staff wants to do," he said.
"As long as I'm playing I don't really care, I'm happy either way.
"I'd never played defence, not even as a junior, so defending doesn't really come naturally to me. I feel I'm getting better, I've got good people around me, good coaches, so I'm slowly getting there."
Fasolo played just three games in a 2013 season that was ruined by navicular fracture in his right foot.
But the West Australian said he was feeling no ill-effects of that injury anymore.
"I had a bit of a scare on Anzac Day, but it turned out to be something completely different, it was just a little bit of joint soreness.
"Anyone who's had a navicular gets a little bit scared when they feel a bit of pain, but it's really good, I did my rehab right and it's come good."
