Barry Hall maybe it.
when Lobb defeated us a couple of years ago he did not ruck. Just led, marked and goaled.
Not how we are using him.

My point is still correct. Having those four make us slow with ball movement and speed.
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 8 vs Hawthorn
Out : West (if suspended but think he may just cop a fine), Weightman, Lobb, Harmes, Gallager
In : Clarke (Debut), Jamarra, Libba, Sanders
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 8 vs Hawthorn
I'm anti making changes like bringing in Poulter for guys who basically offered up what Poulter offers up. I'd prefer to get games into into the right guys rather than the cycle of dropping guy who inevitably fails a bit due to higher standard for guy who kills it at lower standard.
In- Marra, Keath, Libba,
Out- Lobb, Buku, Cody, Harmes
ThenFreijah and/or Clarke (if we are confident they can cover ground needed at AFL level) for Daniel and Gags. Gags first to survive.
If we play Daniel in the VFL, I want to see him in the role he is most likely to play at AFL level. He is a hard one to judge with clear strengths and weaknesses but I'd like to see a stint forward.
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 8 vs Hawthorn
Clarke to debut. Clarke to annoy the living piss out of Blake Hardwick and get belted in the goolies. Clarke to take his 50m, slot a goal, and smirk.

Well I think we found Clarke's Mum's account.

Love the plan but… Hardwick is playing forward.
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 8 vs Hawthorn
So if Cody is out for the year. We need to swap Arty straight in. Enthusiasm, goal smarts and a longer view going forward He is now my project player.
Libba and JUH back are huge. I?m upset like everyone but we are just one game out of the. 8 and a third the way into a long session.
So Weightman out - Arty in
I?m sticking with Buku
Lobb out JUH in
MaCrae out - Libba in
VDM out.Sanders back in
Doc stays. He with Jones are the level heads and we need him to free up Dale, JJ
I would also like to move ADZ to the wing as we n Ed his speed and would free him up. Libba and Garcia to rotate 70/30 midfield/forward
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 8 vs Hawthorn
I want to throw the baby out with the bath water.
We are not going to be a competitive team against anything other than average/mediocre teams with probably half the team we had in on Saturday night at their current state. We have a few of those who will improve with further development but the game has moved past a few and if we are to get anything out of the year it?s time to act quickly.
Our draw gets real tough after the next 2 and if we are going to fail, we need to fail differently.
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 8 vs Hawthorn
Because some genius tried to be too cute at the trade table and traded our first rounder can we really afford to make the sort of changes that might risk us bottoming out?

Only if Tim leaves as his compo will be tied to our finishing position (well the pick after the one we give GCS). If we sign him, then we are in trouble.
Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 8 vs Hawthorn
West is 100% out. We have accepted the week.

What would be even cooler is to have Tim sign and also have a first round pick.

We seem to be the only club that won't fight suspensions. His was more innocuous than a lot of others that we see overturned each week. Really disappointed that we are not fighting this.

I’m with you. If we can’t turn this ship around, it’s going to be dumpster fire this off season. Just how bad, well, that’s to be seen.
