    Found this on afl website, amongst some DT stuff that I mostly ignored:

    'In notable positional moves, Hawthorn champion Sam Mitchell has been awarded dual position status as a midfielder/defender, having spent much of last season at half-back.

    Mitchell's captain Luke Hodge and Sydney Swans co-captain Jarrad McVeigh have also been classified as midfielder/defenders.

    But Essendon's Brendon Goddard, one of the most popular players in the game in 2013 thanks to his dual position status, will be a midfielder only next season.'

    To be fair J, Goddard did spend most of 2013 midfield and even in the forward line at times.

    Looks like there will be a drip-release of info each day or so over the coming weeks then. The second article includes this positional change: 'Rhys Palmer ($394,700), who has been given dual position status as a midfielder/forward' I wouldn't think too many would be interested in Palmer though, even with M/F flexibility.
